Today, we warmed up playing C major scales with our Right Hands. Remember the fingering: 1-2-3-1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1-3-2-1.
Then we played the game "Face off" to practice naming notes on the grand staff.
It was a fast-paced game and the score was close! 7 to 6!
At the end I gave prizes to all of you because you worked very hard today! I was impressed.
We went over the song "Old Grey Goose" together, and talked about keeping a steady beat and a curved finger hand position.
Gracen and Jessy finished early and tried out "Jingle Bells" - you're doing very well!
Then we did some exercises for the Left Hand in the Bass Clef.
Remember the rhymes for the space notes: Treble Clef - FACE and Bass Clef - All Cows Eat Grass.
Also, try to remember where the notes Bass C, Middle C and High C are on the staff. This will help you to figure out the letter names of all the other notes.
Finally, we did a Theory lesson about Middle C position, where both thumbs are on C.
Remember to read the music to see what notes to play, watching out for steps and skips.
Here is a PDF file of "Old Grey Goose" for you to practice on your pianos at home this weekend.
Thanks everyone!
