October

by Teresa & Paul Jennings

There's something about the month of October that just feels special. At the beginning, the air is starting to get a little crisp, the colors of autumn are on full display, and the change of seasons feels somehow reassuringly certain. By the end of the month, things are starting to really feel different – colder, darker, more mysterious. One might even say, spooky. It's no wonder we just had to sing about it!

On the recording, you will be treated to another one of Paul's oh-so-cool big band arrangements, this time celebrating the features of our tenth month. Whether you use the student parts, lyric pages, or the PowerPoint® lyrics, the best and easiest way for your kids to learn this one is to sing along with the recording. It's all unison, fairly easy, and reinforces their ability to swing whether they know it or not.
