Blue Lesson #10

Are you practicing songs on your bells at home?

You have learned to play “How to Skip,” “The Dinosaur Song,” and “Are You Sleeping?” (the 'ding dong' part as well as the melody) on the bells now!

Maybe you can even figure out how to play: “V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E” and “Johnny Get Your Hair Cut “

Practice your bells over spring break! Remember to practice slowly and listen the song in your head. Sing along out loud. You can even play along with your CD player. On the autoharp, we are playing “El Gallo” and “On Top of Spaghetti.” We are also using DMajor and dminor to play “I’ve Been to Harlem” as the happy and sad travelers.

HOMEWORK:

Remember in red balloons when we used to place the notes on the right spot on the staff? This is a helpful review. Do your best with those tiny circles – you’re welcome to use little stickers or have mom help out

NEXT 2 WEEKS:

No classes! Enjoy your spring break! See you again the last week of March
