Fleming Tower Elementary School Mon. Jan. 7 2.15-3.15pm

Great to see all of you again. We have one new student joining us this year Bria. Welcome Bria - it's lovely to have you.

Today we reviewed a little bit of what we covered in our last class before Christmas, as well as some basic concepts that are important for us to remember whenever we practice piano.

• finger numbers: 1-2-3-4-5 on each hand.
  
• notes getting higher and higher and lower and lower.
• middle C and the musical alphabet.
• keeping a round hand position and playing short sounds and long in beat.

Then we went ahead and tried a new lesson. Bria, you learned about high bird notes and low whale notes. Remember to play high notes with your right hand and low notes with your left hand.

Can everyone try to think of one thing to tell me about their computer teacher for next week?
Most of you have Mr. Scott Joplin.
Bria, you have Mr. Beethoven!

We practiced rhythm exercises and played some games. We also improvised some new songs and saved them so that we can listen back in future lessons.

Thanks for your good work everyone.
