Thank you so much for your kind words! [I am not familiar with how to reply on the post itself to you, so apologies for sending in this format.] I'll pass along your thanks to my students who requested the song, haha. Hope you have a lovely day :)

You're very welcome! And no worries! It's always wonderful seeing teachers with true passion for their work engage with their students' interests and meet them where they're at so they can build the skill and confidence for future success while also instilling in them a love for the art itself.

(If you haven't already, check out Dr. Chu's piano cover of "Isabella's Lullaby" for early-intermediate/intermediate level! She's also done covers of Mipha's theme from Breath of the Wild and "Into the Unknown" from Over the Garden Wall.)

This is my arrangement of Isabella's Lullaby from The Promised Neverland for early-intermediate/intermediate level as requested by my students. It is written in the original key so that you can play along with the soundtrack recordings.

The written finger suggestions were for them - you will probably notice that I am using different choices than is written since this was (1) more comfortable for my hands and (2) what I defaulted to when sight reading through the piece to check for note errors. I was not originally intending to publish this video publicly since I am scrolling as I play because it was a read through for reference purposes, but the score is now available, so here we are...

For any teachers who want to fold little gift boxes, especially around recital/holiday/graduation seasons. I make these to hold stickers, chocolates, treats, pretty much any small items for students to bring home. Same goes with board game pieces instead of using plastic bags. Great way to use sheet music photocopies that would have gone to recycling anyway.

yung kai - blue

(This video was a request.) This is my arrangement of blue by yung kai (Max Zhang) for intermediate piano. The written finger suggestions were for my students, but use what works best for you (you will probably notice that I am sometimes using different choices than is written since this was (1) more comfortable for my hands and (2) what I defaulted to when reading through at different tempi).

There is a full play through at the correct tempo and a slower practice tempo (eighth = 72).

*Note: There are two versions of LH accompaniment (mm. 27-40 vs. mm. 75-88). Since they are varying degrees of difficulty, but outline the same chord progressions, please substitute the version that works best for your hands (if needed) or play as written.
