Many teachers have requested another book of songs like the highly successful EASY 8 book. The new book is here, and it’s called 8 MORE ‘EASY 8’ SONGS. Like its predecessor, it contains 8 add-a-note pieces starting with the note B. Each new piece adds one new note at a time, ending with 8 notes from D to D’. The final piece includes optional lyrics. Suitable for classroom and/or performance. Includes 1 eight-page score with CD accompaniment.
Songs:
- Leapin’ Lizard! (B)
- The Clock and the Moon (B, A)
- The Secret Stairway (B, A, G)
- Going Home (B, A, G, E)
- Shake It Up! (B, A, G, E, D)
- Sanctuary (B, A, G, E, D, C)
- Island Dance (B, A, G, E, D, C, D1)
- Every Day of the Year (B, A, G, E, D, C, D1, F#)
“Easy Eight and Eight More Easy 8 Songs are two sets of add-a-note pieces for one beginning recorder player. The pieces begin with the note B and work into an eight note D Mixolydian scale (F natural and C# are not used). These are all nice pieces with active accompaniments. … the rhythms become slightly more complex as the notes are added, so they might make great supplements to your standard method book. In Eight More Easy 8 Songs, I especially enjoyed a piece called “Sanctuary” with its Eastern sounding accompaniment, as well as “Island Dance” with its Latin rhythms.” American Recorder
