Today in MusIQ Club!

Hi Everyone!

I hope your week is going so well.  This week we were missing a few students because they weren’t feeling well.  I hope everyone feels better soon!

Today in MusIQ Club, we learned about holding notes after being introduced to our new teacher, Mr Bach.  So far we have learned to play Middle C, high and low notes, and rhythms from Mr Beethoven.  Now we have learned how to hold notes for different lengths of time.  We practiced holding notes with Mr. Bach.  He gave us a song to play using high, low, middle C and holding notes.  This was a lot of fun and everyone learned so quickly.  I am so proud of how well you all are doing.  After visiting Mr Bach we were able to go to 2 new game rooms! One of these games is a story.  Parts of the story are locked and to unlock them you have to repeat rhythms.  The other new game has us practicing our holding notes.  A train passes by and you have to hold middle C for the right amount of time to let the right amount of passengers out at their stop.

This week I’ve sent home a worksheet that students can trace their left hand on.  Their thumbs are finger number 1, pointer finger is finger number 2 and so on.  Understanding our finger numbers is very important for us to learn so that we can begin playing lots of new songs.

One important announcement to parents: Registration is now open for our second 10 week session of MusIQ Club beginning December 2nd.  You can register online at Musiqclub.com
