Both first grade classes (Haydee and Vanessa) will perform We Rock. This song was inspired by the guitar riff in Smoke on the Water by British rock band Deep Purple. The song contains one of the most famous guitar riff of all time.
Students will perform We Rock in which they will vocalize the guitar riff using the syllable “wha”. It will be a wonderful treat to see children pretending to play their guitars using their voices to imitate the sounds of an electric guitar.
The original song is composed in G pentatonic Scale, but our version of this rock song is composed in an E pentatonic blues scale (E, G, A, Bb, B)
