Well done today J. W. Macleod.
Today we practiced Let it Be and Happy Birthday.
We reviewed slurs and the 3 beat value of dotted half notes.
We also discussed dynamic markings. Dynamics tell you how loud to play when you are sightreading music. 'F' stands for forte, it means to play loud. 'P' stands for piano, and it means to play soft.
We worked on our C major scales today. Right hand, Left hand, and contrary motion.
We also learned about the C pentatonic scale. The pentatonic scale has only 5 notes; scale degrees I, II, III, V, and VI.
That means it does not use the scale degrees IV and VII.
Peter:
You practiced your RH. and LH. C major scales and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
You also learned about 3/4 time and 4/4 time and started working on Pop goes the Weasel.
Finally, we had 3 performances by Hannah, Rose and Chloe of songs they had been teaching themselves by ear at home. Then, we did some melody playbacks with my violin.
You all sounded great!
Good job everyone.
