We will be doing a demo of the Skoog as part of YMI’s session at this years SAME conference. YMI is removing barriers to accessing music tuition.  In this session YMI will be exploring exciting projects where pupils with additional support needs are being encouraged to develop their musical education.

This link E-CHORDS shows you the chords for Beyonce’s Crazy in Love.  So hook up your Skoog, select the G minor pentatonic and start making music with Beyonce!

I discovered the site when doing some training in north lanarkshire a couple of weeks ago.  I was illustrating how you can use the pentatonic settings in the skoogmusic  software to play along with your favourite tunes, “play some Beyonce then” was the call and quick as a flash we were up and running.  Also had a crack at Balck eyed peas ‘I gotta feelin’ which is good fun too.

Enjoy!
