"Slow It Down"

Imitate the vocal delivery by Benson Boone or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is rhythmic but with pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly and shortly.

"Slow It Down" is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice slowly along with the recording.

To keep listeners attention, the *chorus* of "Slow It Down" was made to be the biggest part of the song. I colored it *blue* for your convenience: it is easier to learn a piece of music when you have a mental scheme of it. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.

A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. "Slow It Down" has a semi-improvised, loosely organized and wandering melody and homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody.

"Slow It Down" is transcribed in the original *key,* A Flat Major, and uses basic and extended versions of *A♭ and D♭* chords. The underlying harmony lacks motion and is fundamentally static: there is no sense of harmonic progression, only a pedal tones on A♭ and D♭. Its only use is to mark time.

Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
