Without Music life would B flat

This is our new Key this week - Bb.  We are familiar with the Key of F and so now we just have to add one more flat, and a couple of chords (Eb and F7). 
By the way, you can be very pleased with your performace on Rondeau and the sight reading with Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes.
This week remember to practice the chords in the Gypsy Rover and then try changing the key…. just to practice playing the I, IV, V chords in various keys. 
Also, practice the new chords on page 34. Remember the techniques we talk about in class for learning new chords.  
Practice Bill Grogan's Goat. This is a call and response song in Bb. Work on the notes and the chords. You can play along with the (slow) recording.
AND … Little Brown Jug. Practice both Uke I and Uke II paying close attention to recognize the Eb notes in the song. It is OK to highlight the Eb notes to help you remember to play them correctly. (C string, 3rd fret).
