Westmount Elementary School Tues. Jan. 29 12.15-1.15pm

Today we were back in the Library. I thought this was a much better arrangement, rather than having class on the stage in the gym. We will be having class in the library whenever we can (there are teacher meetings once a month) from now on.

Level 1:
You worked on lesson 5 and 6 today. That means you met your new computer Mr. Bach.
Can you remember a few things about Bach to tell me for next week?
He was a German composer who lived over 300 years ago.
He had 20 children. He wrote music for the church and played the piano, organ and harpsichord.

Practice finding low C, middle C and high C on your keyboards at home.
Make up some Word Phrase clapbacks.
If you have the CMJ software at home, review lesson 6 and practice holding notes in the improvisation room.

Level 2:
Great work today level 2. Your lessons are getting harder now. We are using the musical alphabet along with finger numbers to learn new songs now. Keep practicing different finger patterns with your Mom and Dad at home. If you have the CMJ software at home, review lesson 15 with Mr. Joplin, and then lesson 16 with your new teacher Miss Mendelssohn.
You can also practice Folk tunes for the Left Hand on the computer in the library.

At the end of class I played my violin for you. We reviewed the concepts of curved finger hand position and keeping a steady beat.

Thanks for the fun class! I'll see you again next time.
