We continued with our work on ‘The Doot Doot Song’ by recapping the chord sequence used within the piece. We used the glockenspiels and worked in small groups to create the chords needed. We worked hard to make sure we were all playing at the same time.
We then finished off the lesson by listening to different styles of acoustic guitar music. As ‘The Doot Doot Song’ is an acoustic piece, we talked about the different instruments that layer together to create a piece and how these layers can be different in order to create different variations. We listened to Jolene (Dolly Parton), Blowin’ in the Wind (Bob Dylan), Gone (Jack Johnson and Ben Harper), and Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (Lead Belly). We identified many similarities and differences.
