GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Star Spangled Banner (it's Almost July)

Posted by: Hammerhead Jun 2 2009, 12:33 AM

Aloha to all,
I had the thought that each month ...or what not, there could be one assignment that could be graded for the REC program, and this piece would not have to be a GMC Lesson, but instead could be just be a song or Anthem that many people would know. The song title would be posted. Then anyone interested would either practice it or find a way to learn it if they don't already know it. (It would not have to be complete songs but perhaps 1-2 minutes of a song.)

The Star spangled banner would be an example. During the holidays it could be more traditional songs: We wish you a Merry Christmas, or Carol of the Bells (I think of Trans Siberian Orchestra and how creative they were with this song.). Even inspirational songs that many would know... Purple haze, or let everybody vote for a song. This would allow the REC program to include some of our more creative performances!

What does everybody think? Could we try one for July and make it the Star Spangled Banner?
