Norman Dello Joio, Little Sister
Norman Dello Joio
"Little Sister" is along with "Mountain Melody" the easiest piece of the set. Students will encounter a tender, simply melody over a steady accompaniment. The LH has some tied notes which could provide a bit of a difficulty for the novice pianist. Otherwise students will need to listen carefully for a good balance between the hands.
