Hello Fleming Tower - It's been a while!
First off, I'd like to let everyone know that if you haven't yet received your certificate for MusIQ Club Children's Music Journey Level 1 for last term, you should come pick it up from me next Monday, Feb. 25th.
Level 2: You completed Lesson 17 and most of Lesson 18 with Miss Mendelssohn. I was delighted to see Aly and Jansyn working so well together today! Vinny, you and Fernando are forging ahead really well too. Thanks Fernando, for helping Vinny catch up to the 2nd level. This class has been so enthusiastic and cooperative lately - It's been a pleasure to teach them.
Here is a game that everyone can play at home, even those of you who don't have the CMJ software at home: MAZE TO PRINT
You've met this composer before - do you remember his name? See if you can tell me for next week.
If you do have the CMJ software at home, review lesson 17 and complete lesson 18. You are learning about Middle C position and moving by steps and skips. You should also practice Folk tunes for the Left hand on the computer in the library. There is a whole list of them for you to try out. Pick one, and try playing it at least 4 times, keeping a steady beat and a curved finger hand position.
Level 1: Breagh and Lauren are doing excellent together. Today they completed lessons 7 and 8 with Mr. Bach. They reviewed holding notes and learned about a piece of music in their Practice session. Do you remember what it was called?
The four seasons by Vivaldi. Here is a MAZE FOR YOU TO PRINT as well.
I played some rhythm challenges for them. They both have a great ear for keeping time. Make sure to count in groups of four beats when you listen to rhythm challenges. Also, count the beats when you're playing holding notes, and double notes with the songs you've been practicing. Remember to use your Right hand for high notes, and left hand for low notes.
Either hand can play middle C.
Have fun this week everyone.
