Wish Upon a Star - Piano Solo - Early Intermediate - Sheetmusic Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Wish Upon a Star is a two-page piano solo, this edition printed in sheet music format. The difficulty level on the front cover is stated as early intermediate. It is my opinion that a late elementary-level student or beginning adult after mastering the early basics should be able place this piece. The hand moves are simple and logical, and may be taught by reading or rote.
The difficulty will be the repeated use of left hand 5-4 fingering, sometimes as tied notes. This will be a coordination mastery issue, and may remain uncomfortable for the player though the simple beauty of the work overall will most likely dim any complaints about the awkardness of the motion.
The second difficulty for both late elementary/early intermediate student as well as the adult student will be the necessary pedal technic, which at this level of ability should be well on the way to a successful coordination of hand and foot.
I think this is a lovely song.

Who hasn't looked into the nighttime sky, seen that first star and made a wish? This charming solo brings to mind the wonder and beauty found in a starry sky. Rhythmic and melodic patterns abound throughout the piece. Analyzing each hand separately for these patterns would be an excellent first step when introducing this solo. The lyrical melody is wistful and balances nicely with the left hand. Students will be very successful in performing this piece with style and grace.
