Beach Vibes Tune Up Tunes® will get students excited about bass clef melody practice! A beachy vibe (and even a glissando!) make these pieces fun, with the right hand written in such a way that the focus can be completely on the bass clef melody. This gives students a chance to get the “feel” for bringing out the LH notes without also thinking of a complicated right hand at the same time.
Included are these one-page pieces:
- Ghost Crab
- Riding the Waves
- Surfing
What Level is Beach Vibes?
The three Beach Vibes pieces are elementary. The smallest note value is a quarter note. Only one of the pieces contains pedaling (and leads up to a glissando). There is no key signature, and one piece contains accidentals which are notated. Helpful fingerings are included.
What is the Tune Up Concept?
This set of Tune Up Tunes® tunes up:
- Reading bass clef
- Shaping left hand melody
- Improving left hand independence
What are Tune Up Tunes®?
Short Sheets® Tune Up Tunes® are collections of three, one-page pieces to help your students improve their skills in specific areas that students typically struggle. Tune Up Tunes® are part of our Short Sheets® collection which helps motivate busy students who need to learn music quickly. These shorter pieces help give students quick wins as well as help expose them to reading more different kinds of music which improves their reading skills.
Beach Vibes is part of both Tune Up Tunes® (which focus on specific problem areas) and Short Sheets®. This series is excellent for:
- Online lessons (they are easy to teach)
- Summer lessons (they are fun and don’t take as much time to learn)
- Sight reading
- Students with short attention spans
- Young students who are afraid of lengthy pieces (you’d be surprised at how many of your student balk at 2 page pieces)
- Busy students (isn’t that all students these days?)
- Students who want to learn an awesome piece of music quickly
And as a teacher, you’ll love Tune Up Tunes® because you know that you are giving students sound pedagogical music that helps improve specific skills with which students typically struggle.
Are there bonuses to Beach Vibes?
Yes!
When you purchase Beach Vibes Tune Up Tunes®, you will receive a bonus mp3 recording of each of the three pieces. This can help your student learn the piece more quickly. You are permitted to send these example performance tracks to your students to help them learn the piece.
What is the Studio License?
Beach Vibes is delivered digitally (through your email receipt) and is studio licensed. This means that you can print and use this for any student that you directly teach for your entire lifetime of teaching. It’s like getting an unlimited supply of Music Kids Love®!

Chris Morrow –
I like Beach Vibes for the summer for elementary students! Wendy did a great job using articulation and accidentals to where the student gets a feel for them without being overwhelmed by them. I like the upbeat feel, though I did expect more of a major sound on Surfing.. I am excited to use these pieces with my students this summer!
