Swing Sensation by Linda Mitchell One of our Cool Cats Recorder Ensembles Ideal companions for the Cool Cats Recorder Course (plateau/extension). Photocopiable (by purchasers only) Double CD pack of Demonstrations and Backings 15 tunes - 3 parts each, beginner to advanced. Guitar chord symbols and full set guitar charts. Perfect for concert items. The piece we have chosen for you is 'THREE MINOR MICE'. It is an arrangement of a tune the students all know ('Three Blind Mice'). HOWEVER - this arrangement is in a MINOR key (E minor). Your students will love hearing how the mood and feel of a tune can be altered by a shift in tonality from major to minor. The tune is also 'swung' - given a jazz syncopation. HOW TO USE THE ARRANGEMENT There are 3 parts: Cool Cats Part - G, A, B. Heroes part - E, F#, G. Legends part - F#, A, B, C#, D, D#, pinched E. There is also a guitar chord chart (Em, Am7, D, B7). There are also audio files of all parts separately, all parts together ... AND a backing track (where the piece is performed 3 times). So ... students can play just one, or two, or all parts and the piece will work. A simple arrangement that always works: 1st time - Legends part 2nd time - Legends + cool Cats 3rd time - all parts together. TUNED PERCUSSION, KEYBOARDS OR OTHER TUNED INSTRUMENTS CAN ALSO BE USED.
