Kingswood School Thurs. March 6 11.40-12.40pm

Today was our last class before March break. You listened and worked fairly well today. I was glad to see everyone paying better attention than last week.

Level 1:

• We reviewed your 5 scales: C major, C pentatonic, C contrary motion, G major and G pentatonic.
• We learned how to play in the key of F today. F major has 1 flat - the 4 th note of the scale. The fingering for the right hand is 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4. You don't need your 5th finger to play this scale.
  
• We practiced your songs: Let it be, Happy Birthday, Clementine, Daydream Believer and Ode to Joy.
• At the end of class we played some ear training games (rhythms and melodies) and spent some time improvising in the CMJ program.

Level 2 (Lauren):

• You warmed up with your C major scales, hands separately.
• We reviewed note naming and note values.
• Practiced your songs: Old grey goose, Twinkle, Pop goes the Weasel, On top of Old Smokey.
• Learned a new song, Get Up.
• Your clapping is getting much better and your sight reading as well. Keep up the good work Lauren :)

Over March break please try to playing from any music books you may have at home. This would be excellent piano practice and I would be happy to hear any songs that you can prepare for me, next class Thursday, March 13th.
See you then!
