RAH songs
For our Royal Albert Hall performance, we are learning 5 songs.
If I Had Words
When I Grow Up
Believer
Make Your Own Kind Of Music
You're The Voice
The Good News: They are all songs that have been popular for a long time - ask your parents if you don't believe me! There are loads of videos on YouTube of the songs if you know where to look.
The Bad News: The versions we have been asked to learn may be slightly different in places to the versions we already know. The only way to listen to these new versions is through SoundCloud - click on the link below - and I cannot find a way to download them!
We are learning the Primaries 1 parts.
This is important!
H&W songs
