Creating musical children…one note at a time!

Bridge Lesson

Lesson #11B

NO CLASS NEXT WEEK!
NEXT CLASS WILL BE FEBRUARY 23RD
AND IT WILL BE A
GAME DAY!

Here is what we did in class this week:

Online Fun:
Build a minor scale! (be sure you select "natural" because we haven’t learned "harmonic" yet)
Check out any of my other online games and let me know what you think!

We learned the pattern to make a MINOR SCALE!

  • WHWWHWW (whole, half, whole, whole, half, whole, whole)
  • In the key of a minor, we use only white keys.
  • Practice building any minor scale on my website!

We are getting really good at playing "Fossils" but for a fun challenge, the kids can learn to play it at full speed! Here’s the actual song and the part we have in the book takes only 9 seconds to get through when it is up to tempo! Just have your child increase the speed a little at a time and you’ll be surprised at how fast they can get it!

We performed our favorite Vivaldi season song for the class today. We practiced being a good audience for the one performing and had positive things to say to the performer afterward.

We are starting to learn more about the key of a minor, and the triads are just as easy to play as they are in the key of C Major!

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

Don’t forget to send me videos of all the scales and songs your child knows to get more pins! These next 2 weeks are meant to be used for playing "catch-up" so please take advantage of it! Have your child go back and finish any part of the homework that wasn’t completed, and even review old songs so they aren’t forgotten. Have your child make a list of all the songs they can play MEMORIZED! Transpose something. So many options for your child to really get some fun piano playing in!

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Have a musical day!
