<strong>Songs</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Poetry</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>ESL</strong>Happy Birthday - on the guitarMaybe the first time you drag out your new guitar in the classroom is to play Happy Birthday to oneof your lovely students ... or maybe to a colleague in the staff room. So, practise first!Key <strong>and</strong> PitchThe 'key' that you play the song in will determine the pitch of the song as a whole, as well as thechord shapes you need to learn.When you strum your first chord, there are six notes playing - so how do you know which one tostart singing the song with?In the file below, it points out which string to pluck to get your starting note.If you remember the 3 chord trick, you can choose to play this song in 'C' or 'G'.Ruth Wickham, Brighton Education Training Fellow41
