Le petit âne gris

The first collection of French song sheet music graded by level of difficulty, CrocK’MusiC offers a clear path from level 1 to 9, designed by piano teachers. The works, drawn mainly from the French chanson repertoire, speak immediately to the student: they build on familiar melodies, stimulate listening, make reading easier and recreate a direct link with the instrument.

Technique stops being an obstacle and becomes a lever; CrocK’MusiC is not an alternative to the traditional repertoire, it is a parallel path that leads naturally back to it.

Patrice Bourgès Rouhaut’s piano transcription of this famous Hugues Aufray song is adapted here to offer a perfect balance between musical fidelity and pedagogical accessibility.

Difficulty level: ④ (Easy pieces)
This score is ideal for students wishing to tackle a repertoire of high technical precision.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: a more advanced rhythm, requiring great mastery of ensemble and interpretation, with a harmonised right-hand theme.
- Technique: executing various difficulties in both hands, with left-hand octaves as the rhythmic pivot.
- Clarity: an airy layout in A minor, careful and complete engraving with fingerings.

Crock'Music scores include the lyrics and are printed on sturdy natural Rives 170g paper.
These individual scores are available in songbook form, but also as downloads.
