Hello and goodbye

OK This week's assignment was to write a hello and goodbye song. Harder than you think! I was making them up left and right during the week but when I actually had to write it down, it was really tricky! This time I'm giving the chords too in case you wanted to play ;]

music therapy

In my music therapy class, we have to write a lot of songs that relate to our clients and that we can use one day. This week's assignment was to create a song that encourages movement and motor skills to a 12 bar blues. I'm pretty proud of mine; I have trouble coming up with lyrics, even if they aren't deep and thoughtful feelings. Anyway. Here it is.

I like to go swimming
I like to do the front crawl
The breaststroke is fun too
And the butterfly
Swimming swimming swimming
And maybe a dive or two
Yeah

I like to play soccer
I like to kick the ball
I pass it with my head
They pass it back
Dribble dribble dribble
I score a goal

I like to play volleyball
I like to bump it
I set it high high high
I spike it down low
Pass set crush
I win the game

I like to do ballet
I like to arabesque
First position, second position
I do a plie
Then I twirl twirl twirl
I'm doing ballet

--That's it. They'll do the actions. They may even come up with their own verses. My future career is awesome.
