Dance Monkey

 

We Are Learning To 

Play Dance Monkey using Virtual Instruments

Listen to the complete song

This video is of the vocal line only. Use this as a practice aid to help you learn the pitch, rhythm and lyrics. Once you have mastered this step, try singing it with the next video (instrumental version).

This is an instrumental version of Dance Monkey. The instrumental version has the vocal part muted. See if you can sing the lyrics along with the instrumental version. 

For those of you who are unable to play using Virtual Instruments and/or do not want to sing, you can try playing the percussion part. Below is a recording of the vocal and one of the percussion parts (part 4).

Part 1 - Vocals

Part 2 - Chords (Guitar or Piano)

Part 3 - Percussion 1

Part 4 - Percussion 2 - Clap this part or play on a homemade percussion instrument.
