Do Your Best!
by John RiggioA great motivational piece, this song encourages your singers to do their personal best in everything they do, splitting the difference between mediocre efforts and a competitive "win at all costs" mentality. With its positive message and driving rhythm, this song would be at home in an academic setting or sports event alike.
The song utilizes an energetic two-four emphasis rock beat with a syncopated right hand part for the piano, giving it a triple over duple meter feel. For this reason (lots of dots and ties across bar lines), as well as its range and optional four part harmony at the coda, we recommend this song for your middle to upper grades.
