Charts for Special Topics Classes
Please Note: Since these charts are being prepared for singers (as well as instrumentalists), we’ve prepared two collections of charts in the hope that they are sufficient to accommodate different singers’ voices :
- Charts in the original key
- Charts in vocal instructor Mariana Baltar’s key
We’ll be in dialogue with campers who are have registered as vocalists regarding song selection, keys, etc, so early registration is very much in your interest!
For those who will be participating as instrumentalists, getting familiar with the songs before camp — in whatever key — will make it much easier to join in the fun once we’re together. As always when working with vocalists, we may need to flex!
For each set of tunes, we’re providing two types of charts:
- A sheet with the song’s chords and lyrics only. (What Brazilians call a “cifra”) These will suffice for many vocalists and accompanists.
- Fully notated transcriptions of the melody, in three transpositions, for melodic instrumentalists. (Brazilians call this a “partitura”.)
