Blow the Man Down
no staff lines
First Pieces, A
"Blow the Man Down" now appears four times on these pages. It is a rowdy tune that plays to children's fascination with pirates as well as a sea shanty that fun-loving adults can identify with. You play the ones in First Pieces and Primer Level identically, but you will be reading the one in First Pieces in a "no-staff" notation (none of those horizontal lines) and the one in Primer Level in traditional music notation. In the Level 2 version the right hand spans a 6th, from middle C up to A. Plenty to learn! Plenty to enjoy!
