Kingswood School Thurs. June 12 11.40-12.40pm

We had a good class today.

For Ben and Aidan this was their last MusIQ Club class of the year.
We reviewed our Group Piece: Ode to Joy, and practiced our Solos: Ten Little Indians, The Baseball Game and The Blue Danube. We also spent some time singing along to the theme song 'Superman', which was a lot of fun.
We played Interval Faceoff and worked on our 4-beat rhythm clapbacks.
Then we reviewed Triads: a group of 3 notes. The bottom note is called the 'root', the middle note is the '3rd' and the top note is called the 'fifth'. You can build a triad on any degree of the scale. This is the basic concept behind Chord Theory. Soon you will be able to play songs by reading chords, and maybe even write your own songs using chords.

Next week Josh and I will have one last music lesson and I will distribute your certificates and report cards. Please remember to pick these up from the office after your field trip, Ben and Aidan. It's been a pleasure working with you and I hope to see you again next year.
