Race for the Flag, Late Elementary/ Early Intermediate Solo from Castle Tales Vol. 2

Race for the Flag: This one is fun! Students will love the sound and excitement that it creates!

Great piece to teach 6/8 rhythm since all the melody notes lay nicely under the fingers. Notice m. 27 - 29: did you stop to catch your breath? Is there anyone chasing you? Well, get back in the race!! The A section returns which is so fun to play. Make sure to hold the last fermata long enough - look around, did you win the race? Oh, now you can play the last note!!
