It Only Takes a Mouse

2000 年澳大利亞悉尼夏季奧運會激發了這首鋼琴獨奏曲的靈感。當地電視臺呼籲大家登錄互聯網，收看奧運會的現場直播。他們的口號是：你不需要袋鼠，你只需要滑鼠。這句話深深地吸引了我的想像力，我可以想像一隻小老鼠通過電腦把孩子們帶到世界各地。於是，這首曲子的歌詞誕生了。在這首中 C 位置獨奏曲中，學生會發現歌詞有趣，旋律易學。可選的教師/家長伴奏為學生獨奏增添了豐富的和聲和節奏感"

原文簡介:
The 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia inspired this beginning piano solo. The local television station was urging everyone to log on to the Internet to get live coverage of the events. Their slogan was "You don't need a kangaroo, you only need a mouse." That really captured my imagination, and I could picture a little mouse taking children all around the world through their computers. Thus, the lyrics for this piece were born. Students will find the words fun and the melody easy to learn in this Middle C position solo. An optional teacher/parent accompaniment adds harmonic richness and rhythmic bounce to the student solo.
