We had a wonderful time in Musiq Club today.
Each of you worked extremely well, and I'm very proud of how much we've accomplished already.
You remembered the names of all the notes, including Middle C.
You remembered that there are high notes on the right side of the piano, and low notes on the left side.
You even remembered all kinds of things about Mr. Beethoven - our lesson teacher; he was deaf, he played the piano, he wrote beautiful music and he was a German!
Today we learned about two new songs: One by Beethoven called "Fur Elise" and another one by Grieg called "In the Hall of the Mountain King".
After playing some note naming games and practicing our songs from last week, we visited the improvisation room and I was very impressed with how all of you were able to make your own recordings with various instruments and styles of music.
Some of you have an excellent sense of rhythm. (Lily - that waltz was amazing!)
Keep practicing your musical alphabet with a good round hand position, and find all the keys for each letter, keeping a steady beat.
Nice work girls. I'm looking forward to learning more about rhythm (and new games) with you next week!
P.S. Here is a picture of you 5 from the first week. Parents, if you'd rather not have your child's photo here on the blog just let me know, and I can take it down asap.
