Chinese Dance (Tea)

Overview of this digital piano sheet music:

Tips for playing Level 6 "Chinese Dance" from The Nutcracker

This particular arrangement is at an expert (or very advanced) level - Level 6. The range you have to travel on the keys is quite wide for the right hand. Sitting on the piano bench slightly the left from the center would be helpful for the right- hand to move around especially when the right-hand needs to go the lower range. The left-hand part is repetitive. However, it's a unique pattern. Therefore, coordinating the right-hand and left-hand will be challenging. The key to this arrangement is in B flat major which is the original key. Only a few fingerings are suggested on the sheet music. The sustain (damper pedal) is not necessary for this arrangement. A very fun piece to play. For both the right-hand part and left-hand part, when you see the staccato notes, making them very crisp sound will make this piece sound very nice.
