Like all of the resources in the V. U. Library, Scally Wagtail Sails Into Treble and its cheeky sense of humor is as much fun for teachers as it is for students! 🙂
In today’s post, we’re sharing a preview of several songs and supplementary activities from the book.

Scally Wagtail Sails Into Treble: A Level 1 Pirate Piano Book
For many level 1 piano students, the C five-finger scale is all they have known for quite some time. But they can’t stay there forever.
If they want to progress as piano students, they must learn that the piano has more than just ten keys!
.. but this can be scary for many students!
So, we set out to create a V. U. Library book that is so fun and engaging that your level 1 piano students will be begging to play music that includes the treble C five-finger scale.
Scally Wagtail Sails Into Treble follows the adventures of a young fox who longs for a pirate’s life but discovers the seven seas are not as exciting as they seem.
Inside you and your students will discover 8 pirate-themed piano pieces with lyrics (including a duet), note-reading games, warm-up exercises, sight-reading activities, a rhythm activity, a practice tracker, and a certificate of achievement.
