Billie Jean by Michael Jackson - Upper Elementary Orff Arrangement - Super Fun!
My 6th graders love playing this one! I play the bass line, either on a bass xylophone or my electric bass, and they play all the other parts. Each part is pretty easy to learn. I teach this over 3 - 30 minute classes. I teach the parts by rote first. Then I have the students play along with a drum loom in the slide presentation below. The bar set-up is unusual. It takes me a little while to change all the bars. About 15 or 20 minutes. I will post another video shortly of just the drums and bass audio for your students to play along with. Here are the slides I use as I teach my students the parts: https://docs.google.com/presentation/... Here is the score: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y6w-... I hope you enjoy this! ~Andrew
