The Take One Tune project invites all schools in the UK and across the world to take one tune and make it your own. The result, we hope, will be a fantastic rich collaboration of music.
Each school will be able to upload their work onto the easiCOP Take One Tune project pages for all to share. This could include pictures, sounds and video, as well as information about the instruments and how music influences you and your community.
Mr Jonathan Woodley, Head of Music at Kesgrave High School, has kindly provided Gorseland with the tune for Take One Tune and explains how the notes were chosen.
The notes for the tune were derived from the word “EASICOP” by using the following key:-
| Letter of the Alphabet | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
| Musical Note | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | A | B | C | D | E |
This produced the following notes:-
E A E B C A B
Using these notes, Jonathan Woodley produced the following tune:
TakeOneTune
What do you need to know to be able to join in?
There are only 2 rules...
You must only use these 7 easiCOP notes
E A E B C A B
Your tune must start with them in this 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
-
use some of the rhythm patterns with the given notes
-
just use the easiCOP notes the way you want

Now that Gorseland Primary School have launched Take One Tune, they are preparing their version of the tune, which they hope to take to their twin school, Kudawella in Sri Lanka in February. Both schools intend to record their 'musical journey' using video, sound files, pictures and stories, which will be uploaded to the website for all to share. Kudawella will be using their Traditional Eastern Band instruments. They were recently purchased with the prize money received for their iCookBook website, which won last year's BT Global Design Challenge Hothouse!
With your help, Gorseland hope music will travel across the World (via the Internet!), as UK and global partner schools join in.
What will we learn from each other by taking part in this music project?
