anthony m Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This is a challenge that encourages you to learn one of the most popular songs in the history of the world. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Simple, right? We did this last year and I want to bring it back this year as well. The structure of the challenge is to focus on 1 section per week. The song is split into 8 sections, so it took us about 2 months to complete. If you're up for the challenge, then I'd encourage all of you to post in the community facebook page. Use #birthdaychallenge each time you post so that I can easily find your posts. So essentially, it should have already been underway, however, this was a spur of the moment decision inspired by many of the new members... and through the success it brought to the community last year. thank you all and I am enjoying all your videos.

Ido B Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Great challenge, @anthony m! I want to learn this, but am currently doing the Ode to Joy Challenge, so don’t want to spread myself to thin. Ode to Joy is kicking my butt! Whenever I do get around to learning this, I’m coming to you for advise. Looking forward to seeing you and the other members post your progress on the FB page.

So this week just work on the traditional section, and next week only work on the section after that. It's very easy to learn it this way... by the end of the week or whenever you feel you are ready, just post it in the facebook group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have seen my first video covering the introduction. I'm working on section 2 but one section a week is way too much for me. I don't want to rush it and make a mess of it. It's going to take me more than a week per section. I'll keep uploading as and when I finish sections 🙂 Great challenge though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yvonne Y Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Oh NOOOO too much to do!! I am so torn. This challenge is so great! I love touching on all the styles! But then Jonny posted that student collaboration deal and I need to get music ready for a fall fest event!!! SHOOOOT!! I am going to have to start ignoring you or I will be unprepared....Orrrrr do I take a few calculated risks. hmmmm. I sent a personalized Happy Birthday video in the first style this morning to a friend on messenger. What a ham 😄. Spread that love around and get some practice! If I disappear you'll know why!
