Today in MusIQ Club!

Welcome back from our Thanksgiving break everyone.  I hope you all had a fantastic holiday weekend!

This week our Kindergarten through 4th grade students completed another lesson with Mr Bach.  Jaelle and Sierra read us a little bit about Mr Bach and the introduced us to a some new instruments.  We learned that Mr Bach had 20 kids!  We also learned that instead of a piano, they used to play the harpsichord.  The harpsichord is a lot like the piano, accept it is a lot quieter.  It was so soft because it was often played at home, in a living room.  They didn’t need to be so loud that an entire theater could hear.  hehe.

We learned about holding notes.  There are different notes that have different amounts of time that we have to hold them for.  1 count, 2 counts, 3 counts and 4 counts.  Miss Melody taught us some songs using holding notes.  Everyone did so well and was so happy about mastering this new lesson!

If you have the software on your home computer you can practice playing the train game, the princess story time or bongo boy!  These are all great games that have us thinking about rhythms and counting.

Keep up the great work everyone!
