Well done today J. W.
We missed you Chloe and Victoria. I'll help you catch up with everything we did next week.
Our new scale today was G pentatonic.
The G pentatonic scale uses scale degrees I. II. III, V and VI. No IV and no VII, just like in the C pentatonic scale.
We can use the fingers 1-2-3-4-5 beginning on G to play this five note scale. Remember to jump, over the IV note - there will be a space between your 3rd and 4th fingers.
Here are the homework sheets from the C major/pentatonic scales that we've covered. Please complete them next class if you haven't already: C major, C pentatonic.
You should also practice your G major scale from last week. Remember to make the VII note sharp.
Your songs this week are: Let it be, Happy Birthday, Clementine and your new song Daydream Believer.
Remember to keep a steady beat, holding the notes for the correct values.
Alyx and Peter:
Great work today. You played C major scales, and did a lesson review of note values and time signatures in the Theory Thinker.
You practiced rhythm exercises and then worked on your songs: Old Grey Goose, Twinkle Twinkle, Pop goes the weasel and On top of Old Smokey. Click on the links to print off the sheet music. I'd like you to practice counting and keeping a curved finger hand position.
Finally, we played some melody playback and rhythm playback games. Peter and Alyx also played some Grand Staff spelling games.
Have a great week everyone!
