Hello Everybody!
We had a lovely lesson today! We began by clapping through our hand jive which was good fun, especially when it got faster and faster! We even tried to sing a song in two parts as we clapped the hand jive, but this was a bit tricky! We’ll try again after March Break!

This week we discussed the difference between harmonic and melodic intervals.
Then, we listened to some different intervals which I [...]
