Bridge #12a – Musik & Me – Featuring Lets Play Music and Sound Beginnings

Bridge Lesson

Lesson #12A

Here is what we did in class this week:

Online Fun:
We can now build a major scale, a minor natural scale, and a minor harmonic scale! As long as we follow the formula, it will always work! Here’s a fun way to practice: Build a Scale!

We reviewed the formula for making a minor scale:

WHWWHWW
DO RE me FA SOL le te DO
This is for a NATURAL minor scale

We learned how to make a HARMONIC minor scale:

We make the 7th degree 1/2 step higher, so it leads to DO better
DO RE me FA SOL le TI DO
These are the same notes we use when we do our chord progressions

Here’s this week’s homework assignment sheet and we’re doing the RED highlights! (You can click the image to open a PDF!)

We are wanting to get more buttons on the tote bags, so PLEASE send me videos of your child passing off their songs, scales, and chords! The videos don’t need to be exactly perfect, but I do need to see that the kids know the concepts.

REGISTRATION FOR NEXT FALL BEGINS THIS FRIDAY. I’ll send out a separate email for how to register for that.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Have a musical day!
