How to use the pieces on the Home page of WillBailyPianoTunes.com.  
Forbidden City (solo/duet) can be used in several different ways.  Kids who have played Way Cool Keyboarding 4 kids book 1, Teens who are in the middle of Way Cool Keyboarding book 1 and adults who are in Reflective Moments book 2 have encountered all the skills and concepts needed to play Forbidden City. I have used this piece in my adult classes for warm-up and cool down. Good for sight-reading practice and confidence building.  This piece is also fun for ensemble play.  Create a symphony orchestra with strings, horns, woodwinds, etc. Or, create a creepy under-the-sea orchestration with choir/pad sounds.
Argentina Sky works great at the end of Reflective Moments book 3 and toward the end of Way Cool Keyboarding book 1.  The only new concept is the the walk-up in the LH at ms. 6, 12 etc. See the Tutorial on the Tutorial page for an idea of how to teach this. This walk-up pattern is reinforced in Way Cool Keyboarding book 2 in the piece Elizabeth Town.  Also, on the Tutorial page is a swing version of Argentina Sky with an mp3 file and a MIDI file.
Mon Cheri introduces the LH 7th pattern. This piece is a 'stretching' piece. Introduce the LH alone. Start with LH pinky finding the bass notes.  Play LH pinky with orchestra.  Then, discover how the LH pattern feels with 3 keys between 5 and 2 and 1 key between 2 and 1.  After a few minutes with headphones, play LH only with the class very slowly.  Then repeat and teacher plays RH while class plays LH.  Notice the RH is an octave higher throughout and stays in C position. Next week try RH only.  The following week team play - half the class plays LH, half the class plays RH - then switch. Since this is a 'stretching' piece take time and get each hand happy.
Times Square is a 'challenge' piece. Geared more for ambitious teen students than for adult students. There are always those teen students who want something more. Although this requires more technical skill, the patterns are clear and accessible.
