In the third workshop in this series in Zoom, we will transpose the songs in the Pachelbel Medley to fit our vocal ranges and accompany on ukulele. Guitar or other instruments are welcome.
FREE to participate and learn through excerpts of the seven songs that follow the 8-bar chord progression of Pachelbel's Canon.
Visit the webpage to click on the "REGISTER IN ZOOM" link, see the FAQ, and play videos of the seven individual songs used in the medley.
In the first Medley Workshop on 9/9/2023, we focussed on
- strategies to quickly switch between the chords in the Pachelbel Canon progression in the three keys used in the seven-song medley.
- transitions between the songs
- finding the starting note of each song after transitioning from the previous song
- strum and fingerpicking accompaniments for each song
- intro, outro, and interludes
In this second Medley Workshop on 9/29/2023, we will focus on
- identifying the best key for a song from the medley that you know and sing well
- transposing all seven songs into best keys for your voice
- filling in the Pachelbel Medley Template so you can sing and play the song
To get the most out of this workshop, it's best to have watched the previous workshop videos and have the handouts with you to prepare and study in advance. It's not necessary but the hour will go by fast. You can order the material from the previous workshops (handouts and videos) via the Pachebel Project Order Form.
Testimonials
- Using the same chord progression as the Canon, I learned many popular songs.
- Very useful instruction on finding better ways to efficiently finger chords. Anne's excellent music research and innate curiosity gave us fun information on Pachelbel, which makes the workshop both art and lesson.
- BRILLIANT!! Finding 25 songs, new and old, that uses the sequence of the canon, then reducing it to 7 songs, is BRILLIANT!
