WEEK 2

Welcome to week 2 of your Baritone Course!! This week you will explore two more of the Halloween songs with some new strumming patterns. Don't panic there are no key changes this week!

SONGS

Make sure you have your Halloween Songbook to hand for the next two songs as follows and have a listen to the audio tracks for guidance:
