<i>Bison Stomp</i> is written for the beginner piano player. Written in the key of D minor, it uses repetition to reinforce intervals and dynamics. The melody switches between the right hand and the left hand. Both hands stay in one root position throughout the piece. It's perfect to add something new to your student’s repertoire. 37 measures long.

During the month of November, I am highlighting different charities that are involved somehow with music. <br />
<br />
The next charity I want to highlight is <a href="https://mfy.org.uk/">Music for Youth</a>.
Music for Youth is a youth music charity working with young people aged 25 and under across the UK. Their vision is to ensure that every young person in the UK can achieve their musical potential by performing the music they love. They believe that music, and the chance to participate in high-quality musical activities, should be open to every young person.

<br />
The next charity I want to highlight is <a href="https://mbird.org/">The Mockingbird Foundation</a>.
The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1997 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community and beyond. Since they are entirely volunteer-run, administrative costs are less than 5% of revenues! So far, they have distributed over $2.3M to support music education for children – 652 grants in all 50 states!

Written in the key of G major, it uses arpeggios and shifting intervals. Both hands switch between octaves and both hands shift out of root positions. It's perfect to add something new to your student’s repertoire. 62 measures long.
