I thought something really short and simple, so minimal practice at the time and then in the concert would work.
So I thought maybe the tambour from p17 a new tune a day for the violin. Has a variety of skills OK
so for confident – or those that have practiced [sill scan in!]
all on D string 4 crotchets then 2 minims : DEF#F#: G G : F#EF#D: E E : DEF#F#: G G : F#DEE: D D played twice
for those just starting opens stings only minim then 2 crotchets: A AA:D DD:A AA:A AA:A AA:D DD:A AA:A AA. played twice. for beginner recorders, playing a G instead of D may be easier
and for total starters, just play load of A’s OR D’S at random any rhythm!
lots of scope for tambourines and other percussion for littlies.
There is more of it we can do, but I was thinking short and sweet prob best.
A BA:G G :F#EF#G:A A :A BA:G G :F#DEE:D D : [REPEATED, THEN FIRST TUNE AGAIN X2]
D DD:A AA:D DD:A AA:AAAA:D DD:AAAA:D DD: [REPEATED, THEN FIRST TUNE AGAIN X2]
What do you think? Should suit any instrument ? if anyone really wants to do this, pop it on the camps list or in comments box. thanks
edited to add – written out [for Sarah], but you may want to write it out again yourself! [I appear to have no control with the mouse!!]. I think for those on strings, if we do the middle bit, might as well make it loud and play D and A strings together. Adds some fun for not tune.
for me, it will always be mattachins from the capriol suite – I can’t remember how often I played it in diff guises growing up!
haven’t really a clue what you are talking about, but am sure it will be good
Big will bring her recorder I think.
did you mention scanning? hope you can manage to as I can’t make head or tail just reading it! (although sure I would if i sat next to the piano and read it, but music would be easier!)
I still think Twinkle Twinkle and London’s burning (with a round version if we can manage it) are good easy songs to play together too.
What instruments have we got between attendees?
