Great work today everyone.
You're sounding better and better each week. I love how you listen to instructions so well.
First, some of you volunteered to demonstrate the Finger Number tunes that I gave you to practice last week - thank you Brennon, Jess and Megan. Remember to keep your hand position in a round shape.
We learned that the position we've been playing in so far is called C-position; with your Right hand thumb on middle C, and your Left hand thumb on bass C.
We reviewed the musical alphabet, and then we learned a new song together - Old Grey Goose.
Nice sightreading! We talked about quarter notes, half notes and whole notes. Most of you were able to score 100% holding all the notes for the correct values!
If you have the Piano Suite software at home, try practicing Old Grey Goose without missing any beats - there shouldn't be any rests in the music yet! (We'll learn how to play songs with rests next time).
After this, we did quite a few exercises in the Theory Thinker, practicing reading notes in the Treble and Bass clef. Then, we played the Bongo Boy game to practice our rhythms again.
I gave you 3 new Letter Name songs to work on this week at home. Please practice them always keeping a steady beat (remember, music is often grouped into 4-beat measures).
Can't wait until our next class! We're going to revisit the improvisation room that some of your were asking about. Thanks everyone!
