BLT Elementary School Wed. Nov. 14 2.00-3.00pm

It was nice to see you again after last week's break.

Today, we reviewed everything that we learned in our very first MusIQ Club class.
High notes and low notes, middle C and the musical alphabet, as well as keeping curved finger with our hands on the keys and keeping a steady beat. I was very impressed with how much everyone remembered! Try finding 'Group of 2 (black keys) down to C' on your pianos at home.

In our lesson with Mr. Beethoven, we talked about his song "Fur Elise" - a famous piece of music that Beethoven wrote for the piano. We also learned about "In the Hall of the Mountain King" with Ms. Melody. I think all of you really liked that one!

After doing some more high bird/low whale/middle C exercises, we played a new game. You had to save the monkey from the island by rescuing all the coconuts he threw into the ocean! That was fun - Try playing this game with your Mom or Dad at home. They will play a note for you and you will have to say whether it is High, Low or Middle C.
See who wins after 10 notes!

At the end of class we went to the Improvisation room and recorded some new songs. Then we practiced arranging the letters of the musical alphabet in order using some flashcards.

You're all doing very well. Thanks for all your hard work - See you next week!
