Teaching Tip for An Autumn to Remember Light Jazz Piano Sheet Music

Many pianists find the key of E challenging due to its four sharps, but this piece provides a comfortable and gradual way to master it. The first 20 measures serve as a great warm-up in this key before transitioning into the more familiar key of C and later to B-flat.

For students hesitant about playing in E major, start with the middle section (key of C) to get familiar with the melody and style before tackling the more complex key signature.

Encourage students to embrace the jazz feel, keeping the rhythm relaxed yet intentional—allowing the piece to flow naturally, like autumn leaves dancing in the wind.
