24 Piano Pieces Perfect for Rote Teaching

In light of Monday’s post about teaching visual spacial students, I thought it might be nice to post a list of tried and true piano pieces you can teach students by rote. Some of these are ones that I’ve taught; some are from another teacher who sent me her list of suggestions a while ago. Most of these pieces are available at SheetMusicPlus.com. If you have any other great suggestions of rote teaching pieces that you and your students like, let me know and I’ll add them to the list!
