Hello again. We had another good class today.
Level 1 (Hannah, Sean, Ryan and Iris) completed lesson 23 and part of lesson 24 with Mr. Villa Lobos. You worked on keeping both hands in the middle C position, reading notes that move by step and by skip. Also notice when the note is on a line, or in a space. Soon you will be reading music on the Grand Staff.
Level 2 (Aoiffe, Josie, Morgan and Sophia) completed lesson 35 with Mr. Mozart. Next week you will have a new teacher. You are learning about the treble clef AND the bass clef. Remember what notes your right hand plays in Middle C position - C, D, E, F and G (going up). And for your left hand - C, B, A, G and F (going down).
At the end of class we practiced a Group Song that we will perform at the End-of-the-year Recital for the parents. The song is Ode To Joy.
With your right hand thumb on Middle C, the finger numbers for this song look like this:
3, 3, 4, 5,
5, 4, 3, 2,
1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2--
3, 3, 4, 5,
5, 4, 3, 2,
1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1--
2, 2, 3, 1,
2, 4, 3, 1,
2, 4, 3, 2,
1, 2, 5--
3, 3, 4, 5,
5, 4, 3, 2,
1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1--
Today we just practiced the first part of Ode To Joy. For practice this week, try playing this song on your piano at home! Great work everyone.
Next week class will be canceled due to a schedule conflict with the school. The week after that you will have a substitute teacher. I will see you again for our final class and recital on June 9th.
See you then!
