Morning Walk

A free piano piece at Level 2 for practising eighth notes. Print it, play along at three speeds, and share it with your students.

When to use this piece

Use it when a student's eighth notes are uneven, when they first meet two notes to a beat, or to build steady fingers.

How to practise it

  1. Count '1 and 2 and' while tapping the beat with your foot.
  2. Play along at 60% and keep every pair even.
  3. Step up to 80%, then 100%, only when the pairs stay even.
Teacher tip. Have the student play the eighth-note bars staccato first, then legato. Evenness shows up quickly when notes are detached.
