Bumble Boogie
based on "The flight of the Bumblebee" by Rimskij-Korsakov
By Jack Fina

This piece is always a favorite. This edition is a nice clear print and easier to read than the old fashioned sheet music.

very nice format,

I took piano lessons as a child, and now at 64 decided to take it up again. I picked the bumble boogie as I had the sheet music on hand for some years and always loved this piece. Since not playing for over 50 years this was a difficult piece...

to start with, but after 6 months of practicing I have it down pat pretty much.I dismissed the first piano teacher as she kept trying to get me off it. The second teacher constantly rags on this piece as she prefers classical music. My next choice is Malaguena.

I am a 71 year old great grandmother that has been studying music since I was five years old. There was a radio program on in those days that had youngsters in a contest. My cousin who played the piano played a classical piece and another girl played Bumble Boogie...

. The melody recently came up on a site on my computer and since I had never learned it I decided to look and see if I could find it. I live in a small town and it is miles to a music store so I found it and immediately ordered it. The first couple of weeks were rough but it was a challenge and now I have it nearly perfect. It is the most difficult piece I have worked on for many years and enjoy the experience tremendously. If I still was teaching the piano I certainly would demand my advanced students learn it. It is versatle and requires a tremendous about of practice with both hands. I am very glad I decided to learn it.

The Bumble Boogie by Jack Fina was hard enough to keep me challenged, but was simple enough for me to learn it. The perfect mix of hard and easy, The Bumble Boogie is a fun piece for the pianist and the audience.
