We played lots of songs on the keyboards this week. Can you believe how many songs we can play from that yellow songbook already? The next few lessons are going to focus on putting the two hands together. Sometimes it’s tricky – like in the Indian song – when both hands are playing different things. But with consistent and S-L-O-W and deliberate practice, you will be surprised at the results.
Have a wonderful spring BREAK. After your 5 practice days are done, just play for fun. HOMEWORK:
This is kind of like the bug scales – match each phrase of music (in the middle) to a cadence pattern on the right side and a bug on the left.
PRACTICING:
We get to play the caterpillar song again. We’ve done so much finger strengthening since you first played this song. The kids have improved so much on this song! Make sure to play your chords blocked, and broken into pieces. Also, please please please keep playing the "Alphabet Pieces" game (from the back of the songbook) if your child hasn't mastered which key is which yet. This is so important. Thanks for all of your hard work and support!
