Grade: 2 Duration: 2'57"

Based on the old Sea Shanty “What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor?”, this piece offers experience and consolidation of selected elementary bowings, mixed with the fun of harmonics both in 1st & 4th positions. The piano plays a supporting role and is not essential to a full performance. Similarly, the piece can be played without double basses if necessary without loss of the bass line.
