LET'S VOTE! February 2020 Patron Song of the Month (Patreon)

{Patron-only post}

Aloha, Patrons! 

(new Patrons, please see the Community Notes at the bottom of this post for tips on getting started, and please read thoroughly for instructions on how the whole voting process works.)

Welcome to our monthly vote! Please note that voting closes Tuesday, February 11th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.

How the Song of the Month works

Here's the TL/DR version of what happens with the Song of the Month:

1. All Patrons vote! (in this post! Scroll down and see the song options below!)

2. I'll create an arrangement for the winning song and teach a Live Lesson (access for $5+ Patrons) and give early access (the next day) to $3 Patrons.

3. All Patrons receive access to the recorded hour-long Live Lesson the following month.

THANK YOU PATRONS for directly supporting the creation of these higher production Play-Alongs! Click these links to find all Play-Along posts and Live Lesson posts.

About Cynthiaʻs Pick

The first few selections are songs that have been at the top of the worldwide charts for several months - if you haven't heard them yet, please check them out!  "Dance Monkey" is my nephews' and niece's request, and has been a hit in my 5@5. 🐒🐵

"Someone You Loved" was nominated for Song of the Year and will be a fun vocal challenge, and "Bad Guy" won the Grammy for Song of the Year and has been highly requested on my YouTube.  I always learn something from working on a well-written song, and I'm excited to work on these.

What songs have friends been requesting from you?  Let me know in the comments, along with your own song request.  Be sure to upvote your fellow Patrons' comments, and add your own comments about the songs you love. (See below for instructions)

HOW TO VOTE

1. Click on the check box for as many of the song choices as you like below - yes, multiple votes are allowed. Please note - as soon as you tick the checkbox, the vote is counted. (You can look at the ticker on the right! Sometimes the ticking doesn't work on certain devices - in this case, try your laptop or desktop vs tablet or mobile.)

2. Comment with ONE SONG that you’d want for next month's live lesson. Remember that our Patrons span all across the world, so the songs that tend to win are worldwide, classic hits. I will also keep your suggestions in mind for our other monthly lessons. Please keep it to one song suggestion per person.

3. Upvote other people's song choices by clicking the heart on their comment. Upvotes are an easy way to double your voting power! Your upvotes matter, so I encourage you to come back and look through your fellow Patrons' comments to upvote.

Thank you, and happy voting!
