  3. Lyrics Included: Sing along or share the story through the words interwoven with the music.

Vocal Line Suggestions:
  • During instrumental parts, consider adding further instrumentation (such as violin, flute, or cello) to enhance the arrangement.
  • Melodies for these additional instruments are notated with smaller note heads to distinguish them from the sung melody.
