Sunday Drive, Solo

Sunday Drive takes players on a carefree musical road trip, evoking the joy of cruising with the windows down and the breeze in your hair. Written in C Mixolydian (a major-like scale with a flat 7), this early intermediate solo uses octave accompaniment figures and syncopated pop-style rhythms to create an upbeat, “happy-go-lucky” sound. Both hands share the melody at different moments, making it fun to play while reinforcing left-hand leaps, extensions, and rhythmic coordination.
