For those of you who weren’t at our last meeting I’m posting your homework assignment. DO NOT use a keyboard to help you with these. This is a sight reading exercise. Have fun with it and good luck. Directly below is a link for those of you who wish to download and print the page.
Please feel free to leave us comments about this on the website, too!
Oh thank goodness-I have it now. I can actually do something else today!!
Me, too. Actually, I’m off to see my dental hygienist. So much for my morning.
had to leave J last week and have only come back to it now…. think for Brits circuses might help?
Hour three…..giving up. Thought it might be New York, New York or All that Jazz because it looks vaguely syncopated to me but no joy!
So committed you are! Which one are you stuck on that sounds like NY, NY or All that Jazz?
J-but I gave up at midday!
Uh-huh.
Aw. See Wendi’s question.
Just being studious, Paul! I was hoping you might have gone for a Beatles number after the Marseilles.
I always wanted to do an arrangement of Because from the Abbey Road album. Or Michelle. Or If I Fell. Or….
Into my second hour of trying to unravell these. I got A -yeah and I think C might be Kumbya. Cheated on the rest-thanks Deidre and Alice! J is making my head hurt but I have three more days to crack it…..
Whoever said Miki doesn’t know how to have fun?
Also stuck on J! B is Roll out the Barrel. It is ‘my bonnie’ who lies over the ocean – very Scottish
Alice
Alice, a hint about J––take a look at the rhythm and see if it suggests a certain type of music.
Paul
Hi Paul and Carol
Don’t know whether this was your intention, but I think that the answers are:
A) Oh Little Town of Bethlehem
B) ?
C) Once in Royal David’s City?
D) My …..(baby/….) Lies Over the Ocean
E) God Save the Queen
F) The Ash Grove
G) Oh What a Beautiful Morning
H) Summertime (and the living is easy)
I) The Marseillaise
J) ?
I found it a bit of a struggle, as you can see – but great fun.
love Deirdre
Hi Deirdre,
Good work! You got most of them.
Paul
