Hi,
This is the first time I have ever posted on this space.
I work for an afterschool program for kids in the Tenderloin in SF. They are under priveledged for the most part, and the program is a free non profit deal..
Someone donated a cheap keyboard. It sounds like a fire alarm with a few different notes on it, but I got the batts and gave it to the kids. I taught them the Star Wars Riff, and I looked up the Simpsons riff on this forum. Thing is, I can't get any further in music cause I don't know it.
I wrote the notes on the keys in a sharpie, and gave the kids... (sing along now) c g f e d (higher) c g f e d etc etc..
they recognize it, and THAT is the forum I would like you to help a brother out with.
I have researched the web, and they just don't really post riffs in that forum, it's all sheet music. I love and respect musicians and am in awe of the ability to play and read music, but I just aint got it.
So If you could shoot me a riff that you think elementary school kids would like to learn, you might just be helping out the next gen find music. Or, maybe you know a site that gives riffs in letter format...
THANKS! You rule.
