Journey to Castle Roche, Early Intermediate Solo

Journey to Castle Roche: We begin our Adventure emerging from a mysterious blanket of fog, to find a road with twists and turns, leading us to Castle Roche. What or who will we find there?  

The movement of the melody in measure 13 starts us on our way.  This piece is very pattern centric - making it easier to learn. You’ll find lots of 5ths, both broken & blocked. The lyrical melody in the beginning and contrasting B section gives students a chance to study shaping the phrases.  Moderate hand position movement.
