Little Frog in the Pond

指法設計避免大拇指與小指彈奏黑鍵，但可依學生情況適度調整。除了斷奏與圓滑奏的對比外，還包含許多大跳與跨手的技巧，因此養成提早準備的動作很重要。每次跳躍前的休止符是準備位置的重要時機，學生應該學著在休息時先移動到下個位置，而不是等到時間到了才開始動作。若加入小青蛙跳躍、停頓、再出發的畫面感，可以幫助學生更自然地掌握節奏彈性與產生樂趣。

The fingering avoids using the thumb and fifth finger on black keys, though adjustments may be made as needed. In addition to contrasts between staccato and legato, the piece includes many large leaps and hand crossings, making it essential to develop the habit of early preparation. The rests before each jump are key moments to move into position—students should learn to relocate during the rest rather than waiting until the last moment. Imagining a small frog leaping, pausing, and setting off again can help students master rhythmic flexibility and find enjoyment in the process.
