 I once heard Carol Matz say in an interview that she tries to avoid "ice cream songs." Ice cream songs are those pop songs that are popular for 5 minutes, but by the time you arrange them for piano students, they've lost their appeal. Today's featured arrangement is definitely not an ice cream song, and what's even better, it will appeal to students of all ages! If you teach adults, they'll remember Cyndi Lauper's original from the 80s. Your littles and elementary age kids will recognize it from Trolls. The message of this song is timeless, and it sounds beautiful on the piano. This arrangement is great for beginners who can reach a 7th, and even though it's pretty simple to learn, it sounds full and sophisticated. More intermediate students may have fun adding their own embellishments. You can see and purchase True Colors here. Let me know how you like it!

My sister knows how to play a piano. My mom told me that it was her talent. I have tried learning it, but it was really hard until I gave up and accepted the fact that it was not really meant for me. "True Colors" is a good piece. As you have mentioned, it is a perfect piece especially for those who are just beginning from learning how to piano. You were right when you said that the message of this song is timeless. Every time I hear it, I also couldn't help but to be emotional! 9/2/2020 03:25:06 am
