Check out this great performance of "High Hopes" by Panic at the Disco! by the 4th grade chorus during their rehearsal on Monday, March 9th, 2020.

What do you like about it?  What would you change?  What can we improve?  Can you find where Mr. Johnson messed up the guitar part!?!?!?!
Leave me a comment!

Recorder Mayhem II is upon us! 

One of the tunes we will be performing is "7 Nation Army" by the White Stripes.  
Use this practice track to help get the main riff (played by the guitar) and/or the melody (sang by Mr. J.)

Good luck friends, this is a tricky one!
