Students will begin Don’t Worry, Be Happy this week. 

 

They will learn A minor, G Major, and C Major chords, then they will add strumming patterns and practice switching the chords in rhythm.

Students will begin guitars this first week of music. 

They will learn:

1. How to hold/transport the guitar

2. 3 easy 1-finger chords (G, Em, and C)

3. How to strum two rhythms

 

These are the building blocks to learning a song and performing it in small groups.

This week students will continue playing Don't Worry, Be Happy.  They have been playing in groups and this week they add a marimba part to the guitar and vocals.

 

This week, students will begin to learn Don't Worry, Be Happy using chords Am, C, and G.

 

They will learn the strum pattern and practice switching chords in rhythm.

 

We will add drums and singing at the end of the week.

This week, students will continue to play guitar, working on G, C, and Em chords.  So far, they have learned the easy version of each chord and they will keep working with "Jamzone" for kids in order to get strumming and chord switching down.
