snow globeKANA-BOON
When it comes to KANA-BOON’s winter songs, “Snow Globe” is the one that comes to mind.
A snow globe—also known as a snow dome—is a trinket you often see around Christmas: a small glass sphere with a mascot inside and glitter swirling like snow.
This track has a fast, upbeat tempo.
For the A section, it’s best to start practicing at a slow tempo so the guitar ensemble locks in well.
One of the tricky spots is the shift from 4/4 to 6/8.
Do focused repetitions of that section so you can switch meters while keeping a steady tempo.
