The Left Hand of Happy Farmer is usually very easy to learn. A combination of arpeggios and by-ear trial-and-error gets the bulk of it done in minutes. Measure fourteen though, is typically pretty daunting for students who become intimidated with that harmonic sixth that includes a Bflat.
From the C and the A in measure 13 though, the student's hand is already in the shape of a sixth. Have them identify the two harmonic intervals in measure 14 followed by the single landmark note before showing them how it is done.
What a fun piece to play!
