Sea Otter Slide by Jeanne Costello is a lightning quick chromatic trip mimicking a Sea Otter sliding down the bank into the sea.
It is written in Eb and has several chromatic scales. The music can be intimidating in that sense, but one students get over the "Black Dot Shock" this piece sounds great and isn't that difficult to execute if the student has mastered chromatic scales.

This original video was commented on by the composer on the YouTube site. Her comment reads: "Wow, that was a great performance of Sea Otter Slide...you paid great attention to all the details of this piece, dynamics and all and your chromatic scales were awesome. Keep up the good work at the piano!
Jeanne Costello"
