We welcomed Tyrique Bowden to our class today. Hope you will like the MusIQ Club lessons!
LEVEL 1 (Tyrique and Dylan): Worked on their songs Old Grey Goose, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Pop Goes the Weasel for Dylan. Remember where Middle C is in the treble clef. We're still working on note recognition and understanding the different parts of the grand staff. We reviewed half notes, quarter and whole notes as well as time signatures. Good work.
LEVEL 2 (Jazlyn, Savanna, Rama, and Krista): Learned a new scale that has one sharp, G major. The seventh note of the scale is sharpened, which means you have to play it one semitone higher. What is the seventh note in a G major scale? Remember to use the correct fingering when practicing this at home. We reviewed our songs, Let it Be, Happy Birthday and Clementine. We also played some games and improvised for the last few minutes of class.
LEVEL 3 (Grace, Kara and Rachelle): Learned a new scale - A minor. For every major scale there is a relative minor scale. For example, C major has no sharps or flats. To find the relative minor key, simply begin the scale on the VI degree, in this case, the note A. A minor will also have no sharps and flats, and will use the same fingering 1-2-3-1-2-3-4-5 as the C major scale. We then practiced our songs, The Baseball Game, Ten Little Indians and Ode to Joy. You're all sounding great!
Today we decided on a few students to learn and memorize their songs for the upcoming End-of-the-year Recital. Parents will be invited to come in and hear what we've been working on for the past few weeks on the last day of class. Remember what songs you were assigned and let's put on a great concert everyone.
See you next week :)
