Sitting On the Dock of the Bay
This is a great beginner reading exercise because of it’s combination of rhythmic simplicity and Otis Redding’s depth of feel (it’s also a great opportunity to expose today’s young musicians to one of the greatest pop singers in American history). Since I use this primarily with inexperienced readers, I did omit a few of Redding’s vocal flourishes for simplification purposes.
