Web Example 1: This excerpt from last winter's concert by the guitar students at Glen Oaks Elementary School, PS115Q, in Queens, New York, demonstrates the students' impressive progress.

Web Example 2: Writing a class song is a major goal for guitar students at the Christopher Columbus Middle School in Canoga Park, California. Here is the score of the 2006 class song, “The Tie That Binds Our Loved Ones.”

Web Example 1: Muting individual tracks at different points in a song is an easy and effective way to vary the sound of an arrangement. In this example, the music sounds thinner, but our ears recall the repeated chord progression and fill in the missing harmony.

Web Example 2: In the first two measures, the harmony part is played at its original pitch. In the next two measures, the part is transposed down one octave, creating a heavier, thicker sound. In the final two measures, the part is transposed one octave up from its original pitch for a lighter, thinner sound.

Web Example 3: The opening two measures use the same pad sound heard in Web Examples 1 and 2. In the third and fourth measures, the sound is filtered with an EQ, thinning the sound. In the final two measures, the filtered sound is processed through a flanger, providing a sense of motion and fluidity.

Web Example 4: This example starts with the original chords, but measures 3 and 4 demonstrate the countermelody played in its original octave. The final two measures go further by using a different sound and transposing the notes up two octaves.
