Bring storytelling and suspense into your lessons with this dramatic beginner arrangement of In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg.
Who’s it for: pre-reading piano students or early elementary level
What’s inside: quarter, half, and whole notes. Two notes have flats. Easy pattern for Piano 2 can be taught by rote.
Challenges: Piano 1 will learn what a flat is, and be reminded to use fingerings as directed by teacher.
This studio-licensed PDF includes both pre-reading and on-staff notation, making it a perfect fit for Level 1 and Level 2 students—or for beginners who need an accessible introduction to classical music.
Use the piece as a solo, or pair two students in a duet. Piano 1 works beautifully on its own, or combine it with Part 2 for a teacher duet or buddy lesson. A combined score is also included for flexible teaching and rehearsal.
🎭 Add an element of storytelling:
Tie this piece to the story of Peer Gynt with a quick music history moment. Encourage students to show the drama in the music by choosing their own dynamics and tempo—some may want to begin softly and slowly and build to a loud, exciting ending!
🎼 Customize the experience:
Use finger numbers as notated or adjust as needed
Change octaves for different hand positions
Perform as a solo, duet, or teacher-student collaboration
This flexible beginner arrangement introduces your students to expressive playing, musical form, and character-building—all while having a little fun with a famous (and slightly mischievous!) classical theme.
