May Ear Power - Week 1

I was unable to work much on this song with students in the first week. However, there are a few details I covered that are worth noting:

- The song is in the key of D Major

- The verse is comprised of 16 measures (same as the Train song from last month)

- Although there is some variation in the chord progression throughout the song, one could play this simplified progression the whole way and it would sound just fine:

| IV | I | V | vi |

More to come this week.

Some personal asides:

- Jay Sean is the latest prince of melisma

- Even if you can't stand this song, "Down" is an earworm and it will get stuck in your head
