Play the left-hand rhythm accurately. Avoid rushing or making the eighth notes heavy; instead, feel the 8-beat and accompany with a crisp, pleasant rhythm. It may be beneficial to shake maracas or dance, as this can help in feeling the left-hand rhythm physically rather than intellectually. Above all, the aim is to genuinely enjoy playing the piece and its character. Children who practice this piece at this age likely enjoy expressing themselves freely through singing and dancing. This piece seems to hinge on the performer's emotional engagement and sense of groove and energy. In the middle section, from the last note of measure 8, there is a sudden mp, creating an expression akin to a child whose demeanor instantly changes. A slightly more lyrical melody emerges in the left hand than before. Sustain the long notes carefully. The contrast between the charming, secretive character of this middle section and the lively, effervescent character of the preceding and following sections is almost amusing, offering a glimpse into Mr. Takekuni Hirayoshi's affection for the world of children.
