Westmount Elementary School Tues April 22 12.15-1.15pm

Well done today. We were happy to welcome Cameron to our class. He will be visiting us from the Thursday class a couple of weeks. Nice to meet you Cameron.

LEVEL 1B (Sean, Ryan and Iris):

• You completed lesson 20 with Miss Mendelssohn today.
• Practiced clapping 4-beat rhythms.
• Reviewed Middle C position.
• Learned about line notes and space notes. Middle C is an example of a line note.
  
• Practiced some Finger Number Exercises moving by step and moving by skip with our fiver-finger ant tunnels legato (smooth) and staccato (bouncy).
• Played five different music games and improvised some new music in Middle C position.

LEVEL 2 (Aoiffe, Sophia, Morgan, Lidya, Josie and Cameron)

• Completed lesson 31 and 32 with Mr. Mozart.
• Practiced clapping 4-beat rhythms.
• Practiced drawing the four types of notes we've learned so far: quarter, half, whole and dotted half notes.
• Today we began reading note in the Grand Staff. Your Right hand plays the notes that are in the upper set of lines and spaces and your Left hand plays the notes that are in the lower set of lines and spaces.
• Learned that Middle C is on its own line, for both the Right hand staff and the Left hand staff.
  
• Played 4 different games and spent some time writing our own music in the Improvisation room.

Finally, we played another game of Hot Potato with my friend Monkey. We helped each other remember the letters of the musical alphabet forwards and backwards and had a lot of fun.

Have a good week!
