Set Sail! Early Intermediate Solo

Here’s another fun piece from Adventures on the High Seas: A Collection of Original Solos Inspired by Pirate Tales.

Are you ready to bravely go where no man has gone before? Set off on an adventure to the High Seas! Let’s Set Sail!

Here’s a wonderful piece that students will enjoy playing - fun & accessible, but the teacher will love the patters that make it easy to learn. Written in Bb Dorian, gives it that mystical sound, but no worries - it falls easily under the fingers - but watch out for the occasional Gb accidentals which put this in Bb Natural Minor too. The opening melody of dotted eighth & sixteen note patten in measure 1 could be tricky, but it repeats throughout which gives students plenty of practice learning the rhythm.

Time signature: 6/8
