  • My primary instrument is the Bassoon, with my secondary being voice.
E-Learning Assignment 3/5/25
Your assignment for today is to listen to our upcoming songs, to better prepare ourselves for them! Here's a list of links to the songs for you use.

Just the Way You Are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kyqlFvIprU (this version is four part. The one we will be performing is two part, but is very similar to this one)

Dancing through Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-VRqTpoTbg

Scarborough Fair: https://www.jwpepper.com/scarborough-fair-11195472-8094/p (Select the SAB Octavo, then hit the preview. The music should pop up in front of you, with an audio player in the bottom right of your screen)



 
E-Learning Continued
For all three pieces, answer the following questions.
  • Where is one part of this song you think would give you the most difficulty? Use specific measure numbers/page numbers for your answer, and why this spot would be difficult for you.
  • Where is the loudest part of this piece? Again, use specific measure/page numbers.
Once you've completed this assignment, send me an email with your answers to deetzz@geschools.com. Have a good day, and stay safe out there!
