Hello again.
You all did very well today, although I felt there was too much noise from some of you during lesson time. Let's not be distracting to others in the class. We all want to learn and have fun, so let's listen and try to stay on task while we are in class. Next week will be better.
Today we tried out the Group Performance Tool with our scales. Ivan played the C major scale with just his right hand. Brett and William tried playing it in contrary motion with both hands. Stephen, Dylan and Justin played their C chromatic scales for us hands separately. Scales are something all of you can work on at home. Remember to use the correct fingering and try to keep a steady beat - like we did with the metronome.
Next, we worked on songs. Ivan is playing Old Grey Goose and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Brett and William are playing Let it Be and Happy Birthday. Stephen, Dylan and Justin are working on Ode to Joy (hands together), The baseball game, and the new song Ten Little Indians.
We also practiced exercises in the theory thinker for reading notes by step and by skip. Ivan practiced his note naming.
We played a game of Interval Faceoff and the competition was fierce! All of you are really quick at recognizing intervals!
At the end of class we improvised some tunes in the CMJ software and played melody and rhythm eartraining games. Excellent work all of you :)
See you next time.
