Hi Everyone!
We had a great last session for this term on Friday.
You all worked through a written assessment for the level you were working on, and then played me your individual piano pieces. It was so nice for me to be able to listen to all your scales and pieces played so confidently. Well done [...]

Hello Everybody!
We began this week with a fun rhythm session. Instead of just using our hands to make rhythm patterns, we used different parts of our bodies. We tapped our shoulders, our heads, our laps and even made our noses beep! Eventually, we even began to do the ‘hand jive!’ (Pancakes, potatoes and curly fries!)

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 [...]
