Today in MusIQ Club!

Here’s what we covered in week 3. Parents, please watch your email for a notice regarding the Carleton County Music Festival. It’s possible to enter your child in the festival under MusIQ Club if you wish to do so. There is also the possibility of doing group entries as well.

Hailey, Aidan & Brooke: Today we covered lesson 13. Go into your settings in CMJ 1 to set it up in the right place.  The students didn’t seem to have any trouble with the lesson and they were instructed (as usual) to complete Miss Melody at home. The main concepts that these students are working on is together notes (playing notes at the same time), holding notes, finger numbers (right & left hand from middle C) and making a nice ‘ant tunnel’ (i.e. shape of their hands so an ant could crawl under their fingers) so their hands are placed properly on the piano. Please complete the following pages in the workbook if you haven’t done so already: The Music Alphabet Forward and Backwards, Moving by Step, Notes Stepping up and Notes Stepping Down. If you have any questions, feel free to post below.

Marissa & Eli: Today we covered lesson 28. Go into your settings in CMJ 2 to set it up in the right place. The students didn’t seem to have any trouble with the lesson and they were instructed (as usual) to complete Miss Melody at home. The main concepts that the students are working on is holding notes, clapping rhythms, and the music alphabet forward and backwards. The music is also hand specific, so when they see a RH or LH on the computer, they must play the note with that hand. Please complete the following pages in the workbook if you haven’t done so already: The White Keys, Note Values, The Staff, Reading Treble Clef C, D, and E. If you have any questions, please post them below.
