BLT Elementary School Wed. March 26 2.00-3.00pm

Wonderful to see you again. Next week will be our last class of the Winter term.
Please re-register for the Spring term if you wish to have your child continue on with his/her music classes on Wednesday after school for April 9th, 2008; http://musiqclub.com/

Level 2:
Completed lesson 23 with Mr. Villa Lobos. You learned about line notes and space notes, as well as half notes, quarter notes and whole notes - that's a lot to remember. Review the lesson and practice at home if you have the CMJ software on your computer. If not, try out this song - can you hear where the half notes (worth 2 beats) and quarter notes (worth 1 beat) are?

LOVE SOMEBODY:

Level 1:
You completed lesson 12 and 13 with Mr. Scott Joplin today. He taught you about five-finger ant tunnels with your Right and Left hand. Make sure to keep your wrists up and fingers curved, thumbs on Middle C. Notes above the line are played with your right hand, and notes below the line with your left hand. Each of you performed a song for me today - very well done.

Here is a song that all of you can practice at home, with your Left hand thumb on middle C:

3-4-5-4-3-3-3--
4-4-4--
3-1-1--
3-4-5-4-3-3-3--

Can you tell me for next time what the name of this tune is, and whether the notes at the beginning move by step or by skip?

At the end of class we practiced our rhythms and spent some time playing games and improvising some tunes.

Excellent work everyone.
Have a great week!
