We had a very fun and productive class today.
Level 1:
You reviewed holding notes with Mr. Bach. Practice your 4-beat rhythms at home. You should also try practicing the extra songs on the computer in the library of your CMJ software if you have it.
Use your right hand for the high notes, and your left hand for the low notes. You can use either hand for middle C. Make sure to always keep a steady beat and curved finger hand position.
Level 2:
I was very impressed with how well all of you did with the new songs we're learning. Make sure to set up both hands with thumbs on Middle C ('middle C position').
You can name the letters of all the notes from your left hand (5-4-3-2-1), to your right hand (1-2-3-4-5).
Practice the folk tunes on the computer in the Library if you have the CMJ software at home. Notice where your fingers are stepping and where they are skipping when you practice your songs. Also notice how notes sound getting higher and higher or lower and lower.
You should play the jungle girl game and the new treasure hunt games to train your ears to hear how the notes move.
If anyone would like to purchase a CMJ software package for home practice please contact me at ajhansen@dal.ca, or visit the www.musiqclub.com website.
Great work everyone. See you next time!
