Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike...you know what today is!?!?!
It's another day this week that ends in "y" so here goes more Turkey Tunes!
1. You know full well that there are some do-overs or get-er-dones left from Monday and Tuesday...so get busy!
2. Spend some time on scales and prepared material for your honor band auditions. ...
3. Today's mission: COMPOSITION!! here's what to do Guard, find a piece of pop music or Christmas song that you like (Barry Manilow has some, too!) Create a routine of NO LESS THAN 64 counts in A-A-B-A' structure Hint: 16 counts each segment, the "a's" should be the basically the same; "b" is new stuff; the final "a" section is the same as the 1st "a" statement, BUT with a new ending in the last 8 counts!! Sloane understands this from Fine Arts class; ask her.
Percussion: 64 counts of groove/jam, in AABA structure, including identifiable rudiments, scales/arpeggios, multiple non-traditional percussion. Make it flow and it must be AABA! Record yourself so you can share.
Winds: Write out 8 measures, in common time, any key, you pick the rhythms, in AABA form (each segment will be 8 counts; that's 2 measures in 4/4); play it, record it, add lyrics (optional). Have Fun!
4. Everyone.... Compose a letter of Thanks to someone who has supported you in your musical pursuits. Parents, teachers, family., neighbor...whoever and how many ever you wish to include, ...the people who make it possible for you to enjoy your music making and performing in the Greenwave band! To deliver or not to deliver...that is the question (you decide, but your must write the letter).
5. Check the TV listings for some very cool Christmas shows/programs. Watch and enjoy some.
6. Get the rest of the stuff "up off of the floor" in your room. And then go help
in the kitchen!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Turkey Tunes will return on Friday!
