Description
A great choice for performance in fall recitals, younger students will have great fun playing (and singing) this Middle-C position song about the "speedy" witch on her broom. There are flats, ties, a diminuendo, and an overhand note by the left hand at the end, with a fermata.

About the Composer: Martha Mier

Martha Mier

Martha Mier has shaped elementary piano education for decades as a prolific composer whose work spans jazz, classical, and contemporary styles. Since joining Alfred Music Publishing in 1989, she has created more than 200 educational publications played by students worldwide, establishing herself as one of the most trusted voices in early-level piano pedagogy.

Mier's credentials run deep in the piano teaching community. She holds certification through the Music Teachers National Association, Florida State Music Teachers Association, and National Guild of Piano Teachers, and spent many years directing her own studio in Lake City, Florida. As a frequent clinician and adjudicator, she has led workshops internationally and at major conferences including the World Piano Pedagogy Conference and Music Teachers National Association Convention. Her solos have been selected repeatedly for the National Federation of Music Clubs Junior Festival Bulletin.

Why we love this

Mier knows exactly what makes young pianists excited to practice. This piece captures that Halloween energy without overwhelming early-level students; the "speedy" broom imagery translates directly into musical gesture, and the technical challenges (flats, ties, diminuendo, an overhand reach for the left hand) arrive one at a time rather than all at once. Fall recitals need pieces that feel festive but achievable, and this delivers on both counts.

What to expect

Playful and purposeful, with a forward momentum that mirrors a witch zooming across the sky. The mix of rhythmic vitality and whimsical storytelling invites young pianists to perform with character, transforming what could be a technical exercise into genuine musical storytelling.

Who it's for

Early elementary pianists (typically ages 6-9) who are comfortable reading in treble clef and working in Middle-C position. This piece works especially well for students ready to tackle their first accidentals and simple left-hand independence, whether in a studio or group lesson setting.

How to get the most out of it

  • Isolate the left-hand overhand reach before putting hands together. Have students practice it slowly and deliberately until the motion feels natural, then gradually increase tempo.
  • Mark the diminuendo clearly on the score and practice it as a gradual soften, not a sudden drop. This teaches dynamic control in a musical context rather than as an abstract exercise.
  • Let the fermata breathe. Encourage students to hold it with intention, building a tiny moment of suspense before the final note.
  • Work through the flat passages separately at first. Once students are secure with the pitch content, layer in the tempo to recapture the "super-speed" character.

How to use it

A natural opener or closer for a fall recital, especially one with a Halloween theme. It bridges the gap between early-level solos and pieces with real musical personality, making it ideal for showcasing progress to families while keeping the energy light and fun.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and playing flats in treble clef
  • Execution of ties across beats
  • Dynamic control through diminuendo
  • Left-hand independence and overhand reach
  • Maintaining tempo while introducing new technical elements
