Do you have a young student who has advanced before their hands could reach an octave? Or perhaps you are looking for music for an intermediate student who has small hands.
Here is a list of intermediate piano pieces for small hands. Most of the pieces on the list do not have octaves. If there happens to be an octave, it is a melodic interval that doesn’t require the two notes to be played together.
