Kingswood School Thurs. Nov. 22 11.40-12.40pm

In our 5th lesson, we reviewed how to play C-major scales.
Thank you Renée and Micheal for showing us how to play C-major scales with a curved hand-position and a steady beat.
Now you can try practicing scales legato - smoothly. We learned about the difference between smooth connected notes (legato) and bouncy detached notes (staccato) today.

We also had 2 performances of the song we were working on last week, Old Grey Goose, from Ben and Aidan. Thank you! Then, we learned a new song, Pop Goes the Weasel, that uses 2 hands - the treble clef and the bass clef.
Great work!

We then, played a game naming Intervals - the distance between 2 notes, and also the Grand Staff Note Placement Game.

For more practice, click here for a Note Naming Game you can play on the Internet.

We ran out of time before we could play Bongo Boy, but we will next week for sure.
Practice Old Grey Goose and Pop Goes the Weasel.

Don't worry if Pop Goes the Weasel is still a little tricky for you. I'm just giving you a head start with this because everyone did so well with Old Grey Goose today. We're going to be working more on the new song together next class.

Thanks everyone!
I'm happy with how much we've learned so far.
See you next week :)
