Lesson 7:
Mr, Bach spent today’s lesson, helping us learn more about holding notes, and made sure we feel comfortable playing all the different notes on the keyboard, while holding them for different amounts of time.
After this lesson, we went to the Practice Room, where we all worked with Miss Melody to refine our holding note skills even more. Great job everyone!
Heading over to the library to work on a few extra holding note songs, we finished off the class by relaxing in the Games Room. You all did fantastic work today! See you all next time!
Home Assignments For The Week & Reminders:
1- Print out and complete your weekly worksheet!
2- Practice playing different notes for different amounts of time, just like Mr. Bach taught us today! Don’t forget to count out loud while playing!
3- Spend time improvising.
4- Find all the groups of two and three black notes on the keyboard, and then find all the Cs (down from the group of two) and Fs. (down from the group of three)
Lesson 17:
Today was all about playing and singing songs! We started off the class by meeting with Miss Mendelssohn and doing two different lessons on playing and singing songs such as Mary Had A Little Lamb.
These lessons were a lot of work, so we went to see Miss Melody in the practice room to work a little more on these fantastic new songs!
To finish off the class, we spent a little time practising our Musical Alphabet backwards, and then went to the Games Room to enjoy the rest of the class!
I had a great time with you today! See you in two weeks!

Lesson 35:
Last week, we learnt about the notes C, D and E on the Treble Clef. This week, we learnt about the notes C, B and A on the Bass Clef! Yes, that’s right! the C we have learnt on the Treble Clef and on the Bass Clef is the same note, which we have been calling Middle C! Good work everyone!
Because we never have much time in this class, as soon as we finished our lesson, we went to see Miss Melody in the Practice Room and then headed over to the Games Room to relax and have some fun! Great work everyone! See you all next time!

3- Write out different rhythms using quarter notes, half notes and whole notes, and then clap them out! You can even try playing them on your keyboard!
Lesson 44:
Today’s lesson with Mr. Tchaikovsky was titled Recital Practice. Even though we are not having a recital next week, I thought it would be a good idea to go over all the things we have learnt up to date.
You spent your time going over different pieces that you have learnt over the past few weeks, as well as some revision with rhythm and the woodpecker metronome.
After spending some time practicing our musical alphabet going forwards and backwards, we went to see Miss Melody and finished off the class by playing some games and spending a bit of time in the Improvisation Room! Great work today everyone! See you all next class!
