Listening Sheet - There are no wrong answers! Students can note how they feel and what they imagine while listening to a selected piece of music. Choose from the musical instruments, nature scenes, colors, and more.

Weather & Feelings - Weather is a recurring theme in classical music. Does a musical piece remind the listener of a snowy day or a cheerful sunny afternoon? Students can select the weather symbols that come to mind. Is the music happy or sad? A set of emotional characters allows your group to pick the feelings that best relate to a piece of music.

The Ferris Wheel is a short piano solo for the late beginner which is set in 3/4 time signature in G Major. Students will place their hands in a G 5-Finger position to play the song. In the left hand part at measure 9, students will need to extend their pinky to play two F#’s, but everything else is in the G 5-Finger position. 

Depending on where your student is at level-wise, we’ve included four different versions of the song that you can use:

1. Version 1 with note names written on the note heads and accidentals written next to each note.
2. Version 2 with note names written on the note heads and accidentals in the key signature only.
3. Version 3 with normal note heads and accidentals written next to notes.
4. Version 4 with normal note heads and accidentals in the key signature only.

I hope you and your students have fun playing the song!
