Good Riddance Strings Break - Part 2

Hi again Strings players. Here is a practice video that will help you prepare the next 8 measures of the strings break in Good Riddance. We worked on this in class a little less so you might want to spend a bit more time on it here. Still -- don't spend more than 15 minutes a day on both videos, unless you really want to.

Good Riddance Strings Break - Part 1

Hi Strings players. Here is a practice video that will help you prepare the first 8 measures of the strings break in Good Riddance. I'd say if you were running through each part of the video three time each day, you'll be in fine shape by next week.

Culmination Song 2 -- "This is Me"

Our second culmination song is "This Is Me" from the movie, the World's Greatest Showman. Like our third song, "I Lived" our arrangement calls for several singers to "solo" on individual limes in the verses with everybody joining in on the chorus.

Culmination Song 1 - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

Hello Fifth Graders -- I have put videos with lyrics for all three culmination songs on the blog so you can practice at home. Our first song is Good Riddance (the Time of Your Life) by Green Day, On this song everybody sings all the words and we will cover the guitar part with ukuleles. We will also play the strings part on violins and cellos.
