This successful group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals) and worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock.

The Beatles' influence on music was revolutionary and immense. The Beatles' musical innovations, as well as their commercial success, inspired and inspire, even now, musicians worldwide.

DOODLE VIDEO

Have you ever tried to illustrate a song? It´d be interesting and funny at the same time. Take on this challenge and make a doodle video. I´ve found this example on a website (EFL Classroom 2.0) and the instructions to create your own:




1. Choose a song (not a very fast song, better with repetitions)

2. Write the lyrics

3. Get drawing. Match the drawings with the lyric line. If you don´t like drawing,  you can also use landscapes, famous pictures, photographs etc

4- After you have all the pictures finished in order. take out your camera and take a photo of each.

5. Now you have the photos - upload them to your computer. Now, it is time to make the video.

6. Open up Windows Movie Maker. Click START and then select this little icon. If you have   Windows 7, WMM won't automatically be on your computer - you'll have to download and install it yourself. Go HERE.

 7. Now you will have to put the photos into WMM, add the mp3 file of the song and then "sync" or "time" them both together. Finally, "Produce" as a movie. Produce as an mp4 or Avi, these are the better quality and most sharable formats.
