 Lesson #13B Here is what we did in class this week:
We learned about Franz Joseph Haydn and his Surprise Symphony. You can listen to it here with your child and see if you can hear the surprise! Be sure to turn up your sound! We have new flashcards to practice now. We reviewed them in class, but the students need to go through them at home as well. I even made an online game with the same flashcards to change it up a bit! We’re going to transpose a Christmas song, even thought it’s March! We will be able to play Joy to the World in C Major, F Major, and G Major. And if your child wants to play "Woe to the World" in the key of a minor, then let them go for it! (They just need to be sure to use the chord progressions with that tricky G-sharp in the yellow chord.) The class decided they want to play their compositions at the end-of-year recital. So please send me anything they have worked on in its raw form (Musescore file, if you can) and I can help the girls get them finished up. I will be around during Spring Break, so please schedule a time for a private lesson so we can complete their compositions. Here’s this week’s homework assignment sheet and we’re doing the BLUE highlights! (You can click the image to open a PDF!)  Please let me know if you have any questions! Have a musical day! |
