 Notes for
Cha-Cha Chihuahua
This recorder piece is anything but serious. M.C. Handel has
decided to bring a little Latin spice to your students with a focus on the
cha-cha, which is a common dance using quarter note/eighth note
rhythms. Given the popularity of the cute little dog known as a
Chihuahua, it seemed like a good idea to pair the Chihuahua with the
cha-cha. All he needed was a name: Chi Chi.
The recorder part for the tune uses only the notes G, A, B, and C.
On the part, the recorder melody is indicated by an “R” in the left
margin when there is also an optional singing part
going on. Let students highlight their lines with a
highlighting pen for ease of reading.
If you would like to use the singing part, consider
letting your recorder players sing instead of playing at
those moments, or just select singers who are not playing
at all to sing while the recorders are playing. The
melody and lyrics are silly, funny, and easy. At the very
end of the song, let every performer join in with his
best Chihuahua imitation: Arf!
Note: When we recorded this piece, we goofed. We
should have included a quiet count-off on the recording so players
would know when to begin. Since we failed to do that (sorry), we
suggest that you have recorders enter in measure three instead of
measure one. (M.C. is so embarrassed!)
