Robert Burns
Auld Lang Syne Sequence
Download the sheet music
Every clef and transposition — pick your instrument.
This sequence is based on the old Scottish poem “Auld Lang Syne” by Robert Burns that was later set to the tune we all know and love. This song is about reflecting on the past year(s) while sharing a beverage with some friends, which is why it has become a New Year’s Eve favorite.
Strive for a resonant, singing sound, especially on the notes before your breathe. This melody is great for improving your major pentatonic scales, singing style, and ear-horn connection. Happy Practicing and Happy New Year!
