Hi Everyone!

We had a great class on Friday, although we missed Marcedes. Hope to see you next week!

Whole Group

We began the lesson by spending some time reviewing some musical theory.
We began by writing all the correct notes on the Grand Staff, and then played the Note Naming Game in Theory Thinker on the computer.
Then I spent some time reminding you about intervals. Remember, an interval is the distance between two notes. You count the bottom and top notes, and then every line and space inbetween.
This week we discussed the difference between harmonic and melodic intervals.
Then, we listened again to some different intervals which I played to you to see if you could identify them. You heard 2nds, 3rds, 4ths and 5ths.
At the keyboards, you quickly played me your C Major scales, and then you took time to choose your individual pieces to work on. I’m really looking forward to hearing them next week!
To finish off the lesson we had some free time to explore the games in Children’s Music Journey.

See you next time!
