Gracie

We Will Rock You:

Here are the lyrics for We Will Rock You.  Please work with your child on memorizing their verse this week so we won’t need to look at lyrics next Wednesday.  Each girl just has 1 short verse to learn so it shouldn’t take too long to commit to memory.

A Bar Song:

We are so excited that you are trying drums for this song!  You have very good natural rhythm so i am confident you will do great!

IMPORTANT: Make sure you are practicing with the transposed track above. It won’t sound right with the original recording.

You just have these 2 parts for APT.  Try to “feel” when we are moving to the chorus so you don’t have to count.  This will get easier the more times you hear this song.  Your already sound GREAT!

You are doing a great job playing keyboard percussion!  Please review your video so you will remember your part for next week.

A Bar Song:

We gave you a more advanced keyboard part for this song and you are doing great.  You will want to reinforce this at home.
