Kingswood School Thurs. Jan. 31 11.40-12.40pm

Good work today!

After everyone in level 2 was done the test, we learned "Let it be", a famous song by the Beatles.
We reviewed C major scales, hands separately, and then practiced C scales in contrary motion, both hands together.

Please practice these at home. The fingering is:
RH. 1-2-3-1-2-3-4-5
LH. 5-4-3-2-1-3-2-1

We learned that a dotted half note is worth 3 beats and that a tie combines the note values of 2 notes. You only play the first note, and then hold through the second note that it is tied to.

If you would like to go ahead with another new song, you can start Happy Birthday in your Piano Suite software at home (Josh started this today and got a head start for next week - well done).

Laura:
Practice Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Pop goes the Weasel.
You learned about 3/4 time and 4/4 time signatures in your lesson today.
You also played Grand Staff note placement and learned about various musical terms like legato, staccato, piano and forte.
Very well done.

Have a good week everyone.
See you next time.
