Vivir Mi Vida by Marc Anthony Acoustic Guitar - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1821775

“Vivir Mi Vida” is Marc Anthony’s joyful salsa hit from his 2013 album 3.0. The song features bright brass, lively percussion, and dance-driven rhythms that are a hallmark of New York–style salsa, making it a great choice for intermediate bands and ensembles exploring Latin music. The energetic horn parts help students learn ensemble balance, phrasing, and confident playing, while the rhythm section—piano, bass, drums, and percussion—works together to create a strong groove and show how every part matters. For singers, “Vivir Mi Vida” encourages clear vocals, expressive singing, and joyful connection with the audience. With its positive message, infectious beat, and high energy, the song makes an exciting concert highlight that leaves audiences smiling and moving.
If you want it even tighter or aligned to a specific grade (6–8), I can tune it in about two sentences’ worth.


A NOTE ABOUT DR. TOMS CHARTS
DR. TOMS CHARTS help musicians make more music together. Inspired by the Nashville Number System and the classic Rise Up Singing, these charts emphasize song form with lyrics overlaid on top of evenly spaced chords. These musical roadmaps let you focus on what you love: vocal delivery, groove, harmonies, feel, and more! You can even experiment with different styles and meters.

In the HYBRID chart, the first chord of each line aligns with the first word or syllable on the downbeat, highlighting pickups and delayed entries. Subsequent chords may not align exactly with every word, but once the singer nails the entry, everything locks in! This format might look unfamiliar at first, but evenly spaced chords improve groove and accuracy. The harmonic rhythm guides the melody! For singers, the LYRICS ONLY chart provides all the words with rehearsal cues (intros, verses, bridges, solos).

Keep on jammin!
Dr. Tom
