Shelby's Great Adventure!

Dennis Alexander

Late Elementary Piano Solo

Shelby, a miniature schnauzer, is Dennis Alexander's dog! Her outside adventure is depicted in this G major solo. Students will be able to lead "a dog's life" as they travel across the keyboard using various accidentals, G major triads and five-finger patterns. The melody alternates between the hands throughout. Shelby's day begins with sunshine (A) but is threatened by a storm (B) and thunder. However, the sun comes out again in the Coda and Shelby continues on her way!
