I want someone who love me�I need someone who needs me�'Cause it don't feel right when it's late at night�And it's just me in my dreams�So I want someone to love, that's what I really want

Your Turn!

  • Create an arrangement of the song using body percussion, singing, and movement.
    1. Figure out how to represent the percussion
    2. Figure out the bass line
    3. Figure out the melody
    4. turn it into a performance
    5. Everyone share!
  • Feel free to use anything in the room for assistance.
  • The google drive will contain stems (Bass, melody, percussion) for the chorus of each of the songs.
