Valentine
From Plank Road Publishing
by John RiggioSimple and sophisticated, "Valentine" is a hip hop partner song that will grab your students' attention. The recording features a dual bass line on electric and acoustic basses and a tight drum groove. The rap section couldn't be easier. Just spell out "Valentine" three letters at a time, and say the word. The sung part is very singable and repetitive, so even younger singers should have no problem learning it. Both parts come together to finish out the song.
This is a perfect choice for Valentine's Day, focusing on friendship (instead of romance), so everyone of all ages can enjoy it. (from Music K-8, Vol. 18, No. 3)
