Level 1 (Taylor and Rama - We missed you Dylan!):
- Warmed up with C major scales, hands separately.
- Practiced the songs Old Grey Goose, Twinkle Twinkle and Pop goes the weasel (Rama went ahead to do On top of Old Smokey and Get up).
- Practiced note naming in the Grand Staff note placement game.
- Discussed intervals - the distance between two notes.
- Played a game of Interval face off with the whole class.
- Played games and improvised some new songs in the Children's Music Journey software.
You completed your written test today. It covered everything from note naming, to time signatures to musical terms. I think you did quite well. Next week, you will receive your report
card and certificate.
Level 3 (Rachelle, Veronica, Grace and Kara):
- We did a lot of ear training work today.
- First we practiced rhythms playbacks. 4-beats long, and different combinations of note values.
- Then we practiced Melody Playbacks, something you'd never tried before. I play a 4-note melody on my violin that moves by step or by skip. It always starts on middle C. If you hear the melody going higher, use your right hand. If it's going lower, use your left hand. Try to play back all the right notes, listening for movement by step or by skip.
- We reviewed Intervals and played Interval Faceoff with the level 1 students.
