Spirit Flutes

Playing Songs

Students, if Song Set One is easy for you, simply play through each song as review, keeping in mind good technique. Move on to Song Set Two.

If you're still working on songs in Song Set One, then simply keep practicing and refining these first six songs, until you're ready for Song Set Two.

There may be some of you who have: What a Wonderful World and Wavin' Flag - these are the two songs in Song Set Three.

If you have these two songs, continue to practice and refine.

Song Set One

Hot Cross Buns - Mary Had a Little Lamb - Lakota Courting Song - Honour Song - Canoe Song - Land of the Silver Birch

Song Set Two

Ode to Joy - Mother Earth - Amazing Grace - O Canada

Song Set Three

What a Wonderful World - Wavin' Flag

Composing Songs

Students, we had just started to compose music for Spirit Flutes before Spring Break.

On the attached sheet, you will see room for Composition #1 and Composition #2.

If you had already finished Composition #1 in your music duotangs, play it through a few times to ensure you're happy with the finished product and then transfer that composition to the attached sheet, under Composition #1. Remember that you can write the notes the way that makes sense to you. If you had not finished Composition #1 prior to Spring Break, then completing Composition #1 should be your focus this week.

If you wish to move on to Composition #2, please go ahead. Composition #2 is two lines long, with 16 bars.

Please send me an email if you find any of this confusing and I will give you a phone call.

If you feel that composition work is too overwhelming, send me an email and I will give you a phone call.
