I’ve been loving the vibe of the songs in Moana! “We Know The Way” is the song where Moana learns about the historic sea-faring ways of her ancestors and is a lovey tune!
They play the tune twice, I’ve worked out the notes to the English part (made it much easier for me =D) – however you can reuse the melody for the first part too =) I hope you enjoy playing it, it sounded lovely on the flute!
