Musik & Me – Featuring Lets Play Music and Sound Beginnings

Online Fun: Can you figure out what interval you are hearing? Test your listening skills! Interval Identification – Ear Training

We reviewed how to know which interval we are listening to with a few easy tricks! And we now have a fun way to practice listening to those at home (because I added another game on my website)!

• 5th: "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
  • a star has 5 points
• 4th: "Boom Boom Ain’t it Great to Be Crazy?"
  • we celebrate with booming fireworks on the 4th of July
• 3rd: "Oh When the Saints Go Marching In"
  • _ _ _ Saints (3 words before ‘saints’)
• 2nd: "Happy Birthday to (2) You"
  • 2 candles on a cake

We solidified how to build a Major Scale by playing hopscotch while playing our Major Scale song.

• WWHWWWH

We figured out the classical form for the song "Fossils".

• A A B A A Bv A
• This can help us when we write our own songs!

We are getting good at our Fossils song, and if we get good enough at it by next week, we’ll get to play it as a round in class!

Wrist circles help us to make the music smooth when we switch directions. Please see the video to be sure your child is doing them correctly!

We can play "Happy Birthday" using triads or progression chords in the left hand. Please send a video of your child playing hands together to earn a pin for their tote bags!

We will perform either Vivaldi’s "Winter" or "Spring" next week in class, so the favorite of those should be practiced well enough to not have mistakes!
