Ocean Tails Studio License
12 elementary piano solos
Instant PDF download
Ocean Tails is a collection of 12 piano solos inspired by the coastal beauty of Vancouver Island, Canada. Written for Preparatory to Grade 1 level students of any age, each piece uses familiar hand positions and patterned writing to support technical confidence, paired with expressive melodies students genuinely enjoy playing. Suitable for lesson, exam, or recital repertoire at the early elementary level.
Each solo is built on a different church mode, introducing students to a fresh harmonic colour while gently developing their ear and early theory understanding. Titles and imagery — from sea creatures to quiet coastal scenes — give students a starting point for musical storytelling and interpretation.
Educational highlights:
Repeating patterns and intuitive hand shapes for early technical security
Introductory exposure to modal sounds, building listening and theory skills
Engaging titles and imagery to support musical expression

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the studio license allow?
The studio license entitles the purchasing teacher to reproduce the digital material for personal use and for all students currently enrolled in their private teaching studio. It covers one printed or digital copy per student for use within that studio.
How is this different from the single-user license?
The single-user license covers one teacher or student — one digital copy and one printed copy for personal use. The studio license extends that permission to an entire private teaching studio, making it the right choice for any teacher who plans to use the material with multiple students.
How is the studio license delivered?
The studio license is an instant PDF download delivered by email after purchase. It is not transferable and is intended for use within a single private teaching studio only.
