 Lesson #10A Here is what we did in class this week: - We found some strategies to help us know when we’re hearing a 2nd interval.
- We can sing the major scale in our head: DO, RE.
- We can think about the beginning of “Hap-py Birth-day to You”… that’s a 2nd interval! DO, DO, RE, DO, FA, MI
- We found some strategies to help us know when we’re hearing a 3rd interval.
- We can sing the major scale in our head: DO, RE, MI.
- We can think of our Chords in Pieces song for the red chord: DO, MI, SOL.
- We can think about the beginning of “Oh When the Saints”… that’s a 3rd interval! DO, MI, FA, SOL
- We played a listening game to decide if what I was playing on the piano was a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th interval.
- We learned about Camille Saint-Saens and that he was an actual child prodigy. He was composing songs at the age of 3 and he was performing piano and organ concerts at age 7! He remembered everything he learned because he had a photographic memory. He was very good at math and learning languages. His most famous work is Carnival of the Animals, which he wrote as a fun joke to perform for his friends.
 We practiced singing our musical alphabet by moving around the circle both forward AND backwards (C, B, A, G, F, E, D)! Here’s this week’s homework assignment sheet and we’re doing the RED highlights! (You can click the image to open a PDF!) Don’t forget to send videos of songs and scales! I want to see the tote bags covered in pins by the end of the semester! Please let me know if you have any questions! Have a musical day!
