Sky Islands

Reflecting the beauty and grace of clouds passing by, this very easy work gives young students a chance to explore the full range of the key of G major. "Sky Islands," a grade 1 piece by Todd Parrish, includes staccato quarter notes contrasted by half notes and slurred eighth notes to reinforce beginning level rhythms.

Interesting dynamic changes from piano to forte enhance the mood, while melodies and counter-melodies flow through all parts.
