Today in MusIQ Club!

Hi everyone!

We had a great class today!

CMJ 2A – We began our class today with Lesson 37 – Grand Staff Songs for Both hands” with Mrs. Beach.  Miss Melody helped us in the practice room, and we played games in the games room.  We spent some time reviewing our note values that we have learned so far, and we made some 6-8 beat rhythms for each other today clap.  We spent some time in the library practicing our already chosen recital pieces for the recital at the end of term.  We finished the class in the improvisation room.

CMJ 2B – We began today’s class with Lesson 51 – “Steps, Skips, Repeats” with Mr. Handel, our new teacher.  We practiced in the practice room with miss melody, and we played some games in the games room.  We spent some time reviewing our steps and skips on the grand staff, making sure we understood the difference.  We spent some time in the library trying out some folk tunes, and we spent some time practicing our recital pieces.  We improvised using only white notes, and c as a home base in the improvisation room, and finished the class with a musical game.

CMJ 3A – We began our class today with Lesson 72 – “Naturals” with Ms. Chaminade.  Miss melody helped us through the practice room, and we played games in the games room.  We spent some time talking about the piece Ms. Chaminade played for us called the “Tarantella”, and we reviewed our naturals and all the rules the must obey.  We practiced our C Major scale.  Remember, the fingering goes 12312345, and the thumb tucks under the finger 3.  We spent some time in the library practicing our folk tunes and especially our recital piece.  We spent some time improvising in the improvisation room, and finished the class with a musical game.

Great work everyone!
