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.

Alivia, Quinn and Elizabeth: Today we covered two lessons in class — lesson 13 & 14. Go into your settings in CMJ 1 to set it up in the right place.  The reason we covered two lessons is to make sure that the kids get 10 lessons in 8 weeks. The students didn’t seem to have any trouble covering both lessons and they were instructed (as usual) to complete Miss Melody at home. The main concepts that these girls are working on is together notes (playing notes at the same time — watch for notes that are lined up vertically), 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.

Lindsay, Caitlyn, Jayden, Abigail (absent), Madeline, Kyler and Grace: Today we covered two lessons in class — lesson 3 & 4. Go into your settings in CMJ 1 to set it up in the right place.  The reason we covered two lessons is to make sure that the kids get 10 lessons in 8 weeks. The students didn’t seem to have any trouble covering both lessons and they were instructed (as usual) to complete Miss Melody at home. The main concepts that these students are working on are High Notes & Low Notes, Groups of 2 and 3 black keys on the piano, and identifying ’middle C.’ Please complete the following pages in the workbook if you haven’t done so already: High Notes and Low Notes, The Musical Alphabet, MusIQ Club: High & Low, and Mr. Beethoven Word Search.
