Hello ladies,
We had a fun class today up on the stage in the gym. You got to meet Mr. Bach - he's even older than Mr. Beethoven. A composer who wrote for organ and harpsichord and had 20 children! What an interesting guy.
We practiced holding notes for different lengths of time. We also learned how to read circle notes above and below middle C. Putting all of these things together can be a little tricky, but I think you're all doing great. Everyone ended up at the same level at the end of class - excellent work Josie, catching up with us.
Practice counting 4-beat rhythms at home, the way we did in class. You can clap different combinations like 1+2 3+ 4.
Or, 1 2+ 3 4
Or, 1+2+3 4+
Try playing these rhythms on your keyboard. First use just middle C. Then try changing notes while keeping the same pattern.
Make sure you know your two black keys and three black keys.
Next week, we're going to start learning about playing 2 notes at the same time.
Morgan - I must say, you made an improvisation today that was just amazing. Congratulations!
See you all next time!
Alice
