Welcome, everyone!
Here are some backing tracks that you can use to play and perform your pieces at home!
It wont be quite as fun as playing with your friends but we'll be back together before we know it!
Funga Alafia warm up notes:
for recorder/flute: C D E G A C
for sopranos saxes, trumpets and cornets: D E F# A B D
These pentatonic (5 note) scales sound great for our improvisation section!

Just the same as above but a bit faster - a medium tempo: moderato...
Here is the fast backing track! Can you do it?? Hold on to your hats! This fast, tempo is called presto in Italian.
Enjoy watching Nana Malaya perform and explain the piece here. Join in with the singing and dancing! The percussionists are playing djembe drums. Grab a cardboard box and pretend it is a djembe and play along!!
Why not create your own welcome song? Or dance? Or song and dance?!! I cant wait to see it back at SMMC!
