Level 1:

Still working towards your cub scout badge, you identified notes on a sheet for me, and you got every single one right!

You then headed into Piano Player to practice Pop Goes The Weasel. You spent some time working on this, and you also worked on On Top of Old Smokey. Great work! Keep practising these pieces for you cub badge!

We then talked about different musical terms that you need to know. We talked about piano, and how it means soft, and forte which means loud. We then talked about pianissimo and fortissimo, which mean very soft and very loud. Great work! Remember these terms and we will go over a few more next week.

To finish the class, you went to play a few games. Great work! See you next week!
