Banana Bread is a fun, 16-measure piano solo for the late beginner and was composed to help address two concepts to the late beginner student. The first being anacrusis, or Pick-Ups. The song starts off with a pick-up measure and this would be a good song to either reenforce or introduce anacrusis to students.

The other concept is to play with different hand positions. You’ll notice the only left hand note Your students’ right hand will need to be in C position, on the Middle C. From here, you can choose where the left hand is placed:

• Middle C position where both thumbs share Middle C.
• B-C position where the Left Hand thumb is on Bass B, and the Right Hand thumb is on Middle C.
• A regular C Position with Left Hand thumb is on Bass G and Right Hand Thumb is on Middle C. 

There are two versions of the song you can use with students:

1. Version 1 with regular note heads. 
2. Version 2 with note names in the note heads.

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