EastEnders Theme
During a demonstration at school today, the children asked us questions about the harmonica.
Normally they want to know the biggest harmonica in the world, how long it takes to learn, or what happens if you swallow one.
But would you Adam’n’Eve it? (believe it?). Today one dustbin lid (kid) asked if we could play ‘Stenders Theme (the theme to BBC TV’s EastEnders). Strangely it’s not summink we normally knock out, but per’aps we’d better oughta start.
Instructions for playing this tune are below. Remember the Purple music is for four hole harmonicas, and Orange music is for ten hole harmonicas. Roll aht the barrel!
Anyone can fall in love
Each number tells you which hole to play. D means draw (breath in). B means blow (breath out). So let’s play. Click the green button under each chunk to hear how it goes. We’ll start with the whole melody then we’ll break it into smaller pieces.
