Hi Everyone!

We started our class today with some theory work at the whiteboard.

We began by discussing 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 to some different intervals which I played to you to see if you could identify them. You heard 2nds, 3rds, 4ths and 5ths.
Doosik, Hani and Julia also worked with me on some examples of compound rhythms in 6/8 and 9/8. You did very well at filling in the missing notes and rests, and then counting and clapping through each rhythm.
At the keyboards, everyone quickly warmed up their finger with some scale practice, and then continued to work on their individual pieces.
To finish off the lesson we had some free time to explore the games in Children’s Music Journey.

Home Assignments

Continue to work on your scales and technique exercises each day!
Kristiana, Joseph and Connor, print out this sheet and have a go at identifying the intervals.
Doosik, Hani and Julia, print out this sheet which is all about compound time signatures.

Bye for now!

Have a nice March Break!
