Great class today! We missed you Erika - get well soon.
To warm up, we practiced our scales. Miguel played the C major scales hands separately. Jeremey, Rose, Chloe, Victoria, Hannah and Anthony practiced C chromatic scales and the C, F and G pentatonic scales, as well as the A minor scale. Good work.
Next, we practiced our songs. Miguel worked on Old Grey Goose, Twinkle Twinkle, Pop Goes the Weasel and On Top of Old Smokey. The rest of you are playing Ode to Joy, The Baseball Game, Ten Little Indians and the new song Strauss - Blue Danube Waltz. We are working on playing in time and holding all our notes for the correct values. Watch out for hand position changes!
Finally, we played a game of 'Interval Face Off' and practiced our group song, Ode to Joy, for the recital that's coming up. Parents will be receiving an invitation to our final-class recital this week.
For the next 2 classes you will have a substitute teacher, Melissa. She will continue helping you with the songs and musical skills we have been working on, as well as some new things.
Have fun everyone :)
