It’s time to put BLUE STICKERS in the bass clef for the left hand! I told you it would be quick! Continue to watch for correct finger use in both right and left hand as your child plays chords. Blue LH fingers are 5-2-1 (it’s like a mirror of the right hand yellow chord!). It made me happy to hear a few kids say.. "This is easy!!" (about playing the blue chord. Have them practice going back and forth from the red chord, to the blue. Also, make sure they keep practicing all 3 chords with the right hand. They should be able to play the Primary Chord Song with their right hand pretty well by now.
Keep working on that caterpillar song. Once your child starts to play it pretty well, use a paper to cover his hands so that he must look at the book only. Once they are familiar with any particular song, they should always try to keep in the habit of eyes on their book, not on their hands. This is a hard one, but keep reminding them!!
This week we also started hearing and reading sol-mi-do. It’s at the end of the song “How to skip” when we sing, “it’s so fun!”. It’s also in the game “girls and boys” on the CD!
This weeks homework is a little puzzle about the music alphabet. We practiced this in class making a music alphabet snake, and they know that after "G" comes letter "A"!!!!!!
See you real soon!
