Powerpoints for introductory songs

Let me first say that I will get you the other music files by the weekend. My niece is coming for three days and I hope she will provide my guy with a distraction, I will have to pay her, but it is worth it.

Second, I like this file. It is a little choppy however. I've been wondering how to do just the same thing. I think going over the song in solfege really helped C. our little D.S. girl. She has the song memorized so she knows what note is supposed to come next. I don't have time to put something more together, so whatever idea I put forth is me talking out loud.

What if I separate the second part of the music alphabet? The first section is slow, the second is faster the third is with the rap. I think it might help the choppiness. The other thing I was thinking and I don't know how to do it, but a animation with the notes and the note changes color when it is played. I don't know if this is clear or not. But I think that would be good.

Sonya, let me know, if you need pictures in red and blue. We have these files.

Lee,

I just ordered DrawPlus 5. We needed it for other reasons than SM. There is a feature in there that will allow me to make a flash animation. I am wondering if I run the files through something like audacity and speed things up or slow them down if I can't make this work. I was thinking of putting the notes on the staff vertically just as it is in Gentle Piano.

I think I can come up with the time provided I get my upstairs finished tonight and I have a grant to start for the BK conference, but I think I can swing it. The program isn't here yet, but it will be by MOnday or Tuesday.

Lee, I don't use Microsoft products, I use OpenOffice. I just like it better. However, what I can't do is create a powerpoint. I think if I just email you the flash animation, we can do this. I am going to get the audio files done this weekend also. I know, I have high hopes, but this weekend is less busy than the last 4 or 5.

Thanks for the great idea.
