10. Rock Around The Clock
Bill Haley & the Comets’ Rock Around The Clock is recognised as one the most influential tunes that brought about the genre that we now know as “Rock & Roll”. Below is the opening section of the song. Play it with great energy and clear articulation. The trick in this tune is taking control of so many repeated notes, all happening so soon after the last one. Try to play with a constant air stream and simply let your tongue ‘break up’ the repeated notes. Have a listen to the original version of the song that is in the Youtube clip below…. I’m sure you’ll recognise the tune!
