Teaching Focus
• Developing steady blues and rock-style rhythm in 12-bar form
• Exploring modal sound (G Dorian/G Blues) with expressive tone
• Coordinating repetitive patterns for comfort and confidence
• Encouraging rhythmic style and dynamic flair
Creative Idea
If you have Late Elementary students who want to get in on the Funky vibe – you can start at measure 4, play through measure 27, then jump straight to the ending at measure 40. They get to enjoy all the fun and skip the more advanced parts they might not be ready for.
This purchase includes a Studio License, allowing you to use it with all students in your private studio. Thank you for honoring the composer’s work by not sharing files outside your studio.
