early beginner

Strawberries and Cream in Eb major

Ignatius Sancho

What's this piece like?
Sancho's 12 Country Dances is a remarkable set of short pieces for beginners. These pieces are a great representation of 18th-century British folk dances. The lively and casual character of this piece is highlighted by not just the title but also by the simple harmonic and rhythmic figures. Light and detached 8th notes and quarter notes will help maintain the dance quality of this piece and keep the musical lines moving forward.
Who's this piece for?
A great piece for beginners who are polishing their technique.
