Portland Estates Elementary, Tues. June 2nd, 3:30-4:30pm

Hi everyone!

We had a great class today!

CMJ 1B – We began our class today with Lesson 22 – “Half Notes and quarter notes” with Mr. Villa Lobos.  Miss melody helped us in the practice room, and we played games in the games room.  We spent some time in the library practicing some folk tunes for hands together, and then we spent some time working on our recital pieces.  We spent some time learning about Mr. Villa Lobos’ life and music and all about guitars.  We spent some time practicing drawing our quarter notes and half notes, and we did some C position playbacks.  We finished the class in the improvisation room. 

CMJ 2A – We began our class with Lesson 38 – “More 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 talking about the life and music of Mr. Bach, and then we created some 6-8 beat rhythms using our whole, half, dotted half, and quarter notes for everyone to clap.  We spent some time in the library trying out some grand staff folk tunes, and worked on our recital pieces.  We finished the class in the improvisation room.

Great work everyone!
