- TEACHER DEMO. This song is on p. 6 of Alfred's Adult Greatest Hits Level 1. The lyrics were composed by Leonard Lipton and the music by Peter Yarrow. It was first recorded by Yarrow's musical group "Peter, Paul, & Mary" in 1963. The song is about a little boy that grows up and leaves behind the imaginary moments of childhood that he had with his friend, Puff the Magic Dragon, who lived in a land called Honah Lee.
This piano arrangement is by Christine H. Barden.

Thank you !!
You're welcome! --Norma
So fun! May need to add some Liberace rings on those talented fingers. :-) Thank you for sharing!
The Liberace rings might be a bit much for my small hands, but he did have a piano shaped pool that looked pretty cool! :) Norma
Beautifully played. I watched how close your hands are together and remembered that this is a Level 1 piece...nice to listen and watch earlier pieces in my musical education. Thanks for the memories.
It's good to look back and see the progress and remember where we all started....especially when we are struggling through a new and challenging song. Keep up the excellent work! Norma
What songbooks do you recommend for a beginner? Similar to the same Level as this book “Alfreds greatest hits level one”
Are you looking for a "Method book" that has instruction and explanations and moves along in a progressive manner or are you just looking for some easy songs to play? If you are just looking for a "songbook", then what style of music do you like? --Norma
Puff the magical Dragon, lived by the sea, and liked to frolic in a place called (I don't remember this place
"Honah Lee". I don't think I've been there either. It is supposedly a reference to Hanalei on the island of Kauai. --Norma
I plays the second time with the right hand an octave higher
Great idea!! That's a nice way to vary it for the repeat. --Norma
What BPM are you playing this at?
Approximately a quarter note = 138 bpm. --Norma
