Publisher Desc.  'Joey the Wallabee Kangaroo' is an elementary piano solo with lyrics and is in the Noahs Ark Series of piano solos by Lynne Cox. This series focuses on global music emphasizing different styles in music. As with all solos in the Noahs Ark Series, on the back are listed facts about the animal and locale as well as the theory in the piece. Joey decided he wanted to represent the waltz style since one thinks of the the folk song, Waltzing Matilda associated with Australia. This song is even described as the country's unofficial national anthem. However, as any musicologist will tell you, this song doesnt meet the criteria of a waltz (must be in triple time) because it is written in 4/4. So Joey and I made sure the song I composed in waltz style for his song is in 3/4 time.
