Happy St. Patrick's Day Fleming Tower, and welcome back to MusIQ Club.
We had a good class - thanks for being patient at the beginning while I worked out a few technical difficulties. We had lab updates over the break.
Level 2 worked on their first class with Mr. Hector Villa Lobos, your new computer teacher from Brasil. You learned about line notes and space notes. When the notes are moving up by line and space you know that your fingers will move by step.
When the notes move from line to line, or space to space, you know that your fingers will have to skip over a note.
You practiced the new Falling leaves game, and worked on the songs Love Somebody, Mary had a big fat sheep, and Upside down buns.
Level 1 had their second lesson with Scot Joplin today (lesson 12). Great work! You're getting much better at finding medium high/low notes, and very high/low notes, Breagh. Remember to play notes above the line with your right hand, and notes below the line with your left hand.
Lauren, you played the song 'Focus' for me - very well done.
At the end of class we spent some time in the improvisation room practicing middle C position.
Here is a song that all of you can practice at home, with your thumbs on middle C:
R.H. 1-3-5-5-2-3-4--
1-3-5-5-4-3-2--
1-3-5-5-2-3-4--
3-3-2-2-1-3-1--
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?
Have a good Easter break! See you in 2 weeks.
