Dear Grape

Next seminar, 7th seminar you have a Defined Assignment song in the SWDA. We have chosen songs for each of you. The main purpose of this task is for you to try to copy the style and sound, to try something different and/or challenging and then finally make music out of it : -). See your define task below. It is your responsibility to find the sheets/Chords for the pianist (if at CVI)/backtrack/karaoke or simply sing together with the version with the singer. If for some reason you find your song too easy, too challenging, you have song it before and are over and done with it, experience problems finding the music at all or something else don’t hesitate to write to me before the 1st of July. We look forward to hearing your songs and we all hope that you will have fun working with them.

We wish you all a great summer
Warm hugs
Christina

DAWN
‘Heart of Stone’ (From SIX the musical (Feat. Natalie Paris): Focus on Byway from Neutral to metal.

EVENLINE
‘My Funny Valentine’ (Chaka Khan): Focus on Highway transition from Neutral to Edge. You can rephrase the last very high phrasing to lower if needed.
