Default There's Music (original)

This song is only secondarily about the guitar, but I'm pretty excited how the whole project turned out. I was commissioned by Wenger, a company that makes music gear for schools, to write a song about the power of music for Music In Our Schools Month. At first, it was just to be the song and a recording of me, but expanded to working with an arranger on piano and two choral arrangements, me recording a choir and soloists as well as backing tracks, and mixing down five different versions of the song. Whew.

If you like you can even download sheet music (including guitar tab), reference tracks and a backing track (in exchange for your email). BTW, if you are or know someone who directs a choral group who might be interested, please pass this along. Especially in public schools, budgets are tight and "free" always has a nice ring to it! https://www.wengercorp.com/miosm/
