Ghost of Tom Appears


It's always fun when a collaborative effort comes together, and that's just what happened last week to create "Ghost of Tom," a canon for All Hallows Eve. First Claudia explained how she taught beginners using a simple three-note minor scale and allowing them to make a "scary noise" on their instrument (to be played ONLY on cue). Then Christy mentioned that Have you seen the Ghost of Tom? would be a fun piece to try. Two days later, we had a piece that was very simple for the beginners, but educational and fun for everyone!
