This piece embodies the slow movement of the Three-toed Sloth. This creature lives in the canopy, slowly eating foliage and carrying their young. The Sloth is most vulnerable to predators when they take a weekly trip to the Rainforest Floor. The key signature is in C Major, but the piece moves in chromatically by open 5ths. This creates a suspended feeling as this animal lives up in the treetops. There are two versions of this piece. One is including the extended technique of strumming the strings with a guitar pick or other longer, but safe instrument for the younger student to reach. Students will need to be able to coordinate the damper pedal, play the keys with the right hand and strum the strings with the left hand. Included is the version with no string strumming and easy to play for the youngest student interested.
Key: C Major
