Tablature Project
Description: For this project we will be exploring the use of tablature and its
benefits as well as its deposits. Students will be going to the computer lab where

done as duos where students play the chords behind the tab for one another or
done as a solo project if desired. Students will perform live or be prepared to
have their video shown in class for peer assessment. The choice of song or
section of song is yours as long as it is written with Tablature. Choose something
you love or something you have always wanted to learn!
