Today we completed lesson 11 with the Level 1 students and lesson 20 with the Level 2 students.
Level 1: You were learning about 5 finger ant tunnels with your new computer teacher Scott Joplin. Can you remember a couple of things about Scott Joplin's life to tell me for next class? What country is he from? (the U.S.A.) What style of piano music did he write?
Remember that your thumbs are 1 and your little fingers are 5. What are the numbers for the rest of your fingers? (Index -2, Middle -3, Ring - 4).
Practice playing different 3 or 4 note finger patterns on your keyboards at home. Also keep practicing your 4-beat rhythms.
Level 2: You are becoming more and more familiar with musical alphabet. You should know it very well, both backwards and forwards on your piano keyboard without having to look at the letters. When you practice, try to think of what the letter names of the notes are. Set up your hands in middle C position, both thumbs on C. Practice the song 'Love Somebody' and Folk Tunes for Both Hands Together in the library if you have the CMJ software at home.
Good work today.
See you next week.
