5th through 8th grade It seems it will work well to have our guitar students accompany the strings players for Largo, Tumba, Country Gardens, and--if we are able to feel more secure on a challenging piece--German dance. We will perform at least the first 3 at the upcoming assembly.
Students seem quite fond of Tumba. It can be played with one chord (Dm), and as such, provides a good opportunity for improvisation, which I will allow students to practice and perhaps perform. I am passing out a d minor blues scales for the strings player to practice (I did so already in guitar class); they may wish to practice with their private teachers. It is fine--even helpful--for some students to stick to the printed music so that the song stays together.
