Half an Orange

by Tom Gerou

“Half an Orange” is a lively and engaging piano solo perfect for elementary-level students. Featuring playful lyrics and an optional teacher accompaniment, this cheerful piece reinforces shifting five-finger patterns, hand-over-hand motion, and legato–staccato articulation.

The melody is shared between the hands, helping students develop balance and coordination. It also introduces sharps, naturals, and triple meter in a fun, accessible context.

🌞 Imagine a bright summer morning, where orange slices become smiles and piano keys sparkle like sunlight on a picnic blanket — this piece radiates warmth and joy, making it a delightful favorite in any young pianist’s repertoire.
