What a fun lesson we had today!
We met our new teacher Mr. Bach.
Do you remember some things that he told us about his life? He had 20 children, wore a white curly wig and composed music for the Church!
Mr. Bach taught us about holding notes. That's when you hold down the piano key for a certain number of beats. Remember to count 1+2+3+4+ when you're keeping track of your beats!
After practicing this concept with Ms. Melody we played the game Hold the Train. You had to be careful to hold the note for the exact number of beats, so that the train would run on time, but still let off all the passengers at their stop.
We made up some more word-phrase rhythms today. I liked Cameron's "I Like Christ-Mas" (long, long, long, long).
We reviewed playing high notes with our right hands, and low notes with our left hands, and how to find the notes Middle C and F.
Do you remember? Group of 2, down to C. And Group of 3, down to F.
Practice high/low, the musical alphabet, rhythms and holding notes at home this week.
Thanks for your hard work everyone.
I was very impressed with all of you.
Micheal, thank you especially for helping me help Meghan catch up with the class today.
Meghan, it was nice to see you again. You're doing great! We'll have you up to speed in no time. :)
