“Leftover Popcorn” is a Level 2A piano lesson piece by Jennifer MacLean. It is written in 4/4 time with a cheerful character, simple eighth-note patterns, short lyrics, small hand shifts, and a playful final line. The piece is connected to a lesson on natural signs, and the music uses a light beginner texture with mostly single-note motion between the hands.

Measures 1–3 introduce the opening popcorn idea. The right hand begins the melody while the left hand prepares its entrance underneath. The phrase includes the first hand shift, moving briefly to B position.

Measures 4–6 continue the story with a return back to C position. The melody stays simple and song-like, while the left hand adds short bass notes below the right-hand line.

Measures 7–9 form the closing section. The dynamic changes to forte, and the final lyric gives the piece its humorous ending as the popcorn is fed to the duck. The piece ends with a repeat sign, bringing the short song back again.

The optional teacher duet adds a fuller accompaniment below the student part. It gives the simple melody more rhythmic support while the student part remains short and easy to follow.

Interesting fact: The score introduces the natural sign before the piece. A natural cancels a sharp or flat and tells the player to use the white key.
