Good work today.
The level 3 students all completed their composition assignments (homework for last week) and practiced their songs, The Baseball Game, Ten Little Indians, Ode to Joy and The Blue Danube Waltz. We also reviewed Relative Minor Scales this week. 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.
Level 1 practiced their C major scales and their songs, Old Grey Goose, Twinkle Twinkle and Pop Goes the Weasel. We also tried a new song 'On Top of Old Smokey' and played some Grand Staff note placement game.
At the end of class we all listened to the final drafts of everyone's pentatonic melody compositions.
Sounding beautiful!
Have a good week everyone.
