There are only 2 rules you must follow
You must only use these 7 notes
E A E B C A B
Your tune must start with them in that order.
After that it's up to you!
For your version of Take One Tune, you could
-
recreate the original Take One Tune, using instruments and, of course, voice
-
-
just use the easiCOP notes to complete the tune the way you want
You may choose how fast or slow your tune is played.
You could also add words and maybe even create a dance for your tune.
Once your work is complete, we would like you to record your performance, both in video and sound files where possible, and upload it to the easiCOP Take One Tune project for all to see. You could add information about your instruments and how you created your tune. We would also like to know about your local or traditional music and how music influences you and your community.
Your pictures, stories and the tune itself can then be shared around the world!

For the second part of the tune the notes were played forwards and backwards and also played twice:

The Rhythms
This piece has the following four rhythms:-
On the recording these are played on Bass Drum, Hi-Hat, Bongos and Go-Go bells.
Bass Drum Hi-Hat Bongos
Go-Go bells
My version of the tune has a slow build up and sounds a little sad and thoughtful; yours may be happier and faster.
