Fall Semester: Week 6

This week we will be focusing on note names with a Candy Corn Match Up game.  We will continue to work on our Spooky Piece for the group lessons.  October payments are due.  I hope you have a great week!

Fall Semester: Week 5

This week we will be focusing on rhythm with pumpkin rhythms and intervals with a fun game called spider legs.  Students will also be choosing some pieces to do a fun spooky experiment with.  Ask your child to share his spooky creation!

Fall Semester: Week 4

I am going to be assessing the students on note names, chords and keys with some flashcards.  We will then focus in on the notes that need more reinforcement.  I gave out several Super Stars this week, so keep up the great work!

Fall Semester: Week 3

Last week the students worked on naming notes as we captured aliens.  This week we will be focusing on intervals, chords and rhythms with legos.  Our super star challenge is going to be for completing a piece with 98% accuracy.  I will be listening for notes, rhythms and dynamics.  You can try each week to earn a super star for any piece assigned this semester.

Alien Invasion

We have gotten off to a great start!  The students have each chosen an alien and this will help them keep track of how many stars they earn each week.

This week we will be playing "Alien Invasion" to review note names.  Keep encouraging your child to practice daily.  Getting a good routine set early will help ensure a consistent practice time throughout the year.
