Hello Fleming Tower Musiq Club Students, Moms and Dads!
We had a terrific second class today. I noticed some of you were really getting much more comfortable using the computers, and everyone seemed to be having fun with the lessons.
We reviewed music by Beethoven - the composer who went deaf remember? And talked about a piece he wrote called "Fur Elise". We also listened to a piece called "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by a composer named Grieg.
I went around and checked to make sure everyone remembered how to play their high bird notes and low whale notes on the piano. You were all pretty quick, and most of you could show me where Middle C was too. Great work - you can keep practicing how we did in class: Play a few notes and say out loud "high, low, middle C" or "low, high, middle C, low"... make up your own compositions and keep a steady beat! Make sure you use your right hand for high notes, and left hand for low notes.
We learned about how to name all the other notes on the keyboard too. Do you remember the musical alphabet? If you can find Middle C, than you can find some other notes called C too. Find some high C's and low C's on you piano. You can always figure out where C is by finding "a group of two black keys, then down to C".
Practice saying your musical alphabet; we start on C and walk step by step (note by note) up the keyboard. C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C! over and over again, all the way up. Only 7 letters are in the musical alphabet.
We're going to do more work on the piano next time.
For now, all of you are doing a great job.
Parents, feel free to Email me if you have any questions or if you'd like more information about the class.
Thanks everyone,
Alice
