Product Description
Rock-a-my-Soul is a Traditional song that is equal parts folk, gospel, spiritual, and camp song. Therefore, it is great for school, church, lessons, or with friends in a room.
This easy, lively arrangement is divided into five 8-bar sections: Intro, Verse 1 with accented rhythm, Chorus with a jazzy walking bass line, Verse 2 with fuller harmonies, (all sections repeated) then Coda.
The Melody goes back and forth between Parts I and II and stays within the range of 1 octave. Part III is super easy and just gently rocks back and forth between 4 repeated half notes (minims) to help anchor the beat and maintain the harmony and key while the other parts move around and syncopate.
This song teaches light syncopation with a tie into Beat 3. Great harmonies are created when all 3 parts are together. But you won't think about that because this version is so much fun to play!
