May Ear Power - Week 2

Further discoveries:

- The verse melody begins with the notes D D C# C# D (pitches correspond with the lyric "You ought to know").

- The chorus melody begins with the notes D D E F# F# D (pitches for the lyric "So baby don't worry")

- The chord progression does vary. I am encouraging some students to play the simple progression - | IV | I | V | vi | - for the whole song. Other students who are more ambitious/advanced have been tasked with determining where the occasional iii chord is mixed in. We'll work it all out by the end of the month.

A personal musing:

- Jay Sean is not a poet. But he makes the ladies swoon.
