Around the World Belt

The Around the World Challenge Belt explores melodies from many places around the world including Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Korea, Congo, China, Argentina, Mexico, France, Macedonia, Puerto Rico, and more. The melodies of these pieces include new meters, forms, rhythms, fingerings, and styles. To successfully earn this belt, you must perform 6 of the 14 songs in this packet. You do not have to play them all at once. You can learn a few and then come back to this belt another time.
