A Magic Land of Gnomes

Here is a playful composition and a great song for contest. It has all that is expected of a Grade 2. In this work, you can drill in dotted quarter/eighth note patterns, and 16th note rhythms. It sounds much more difficult than it is to learn and play. The percussion will have fun with the various percussion instruments. There are a few surprise harmonies to spice up the song. Everyone gets to play the melody!
