 Lesson #12B Here is what we did in class this week:
We learned about the legend of William Tell and started playing the William Tell Overture, which is the song we used for "Fox Hunt" in our Blue Bugs semester. We’re going to try to play that song HT from the start, but take it slowly at first. We learned about accents and how they mean to make that note louder.
We played "One Potato" as we passed beanbags around a circle to the beat. We could feel the accent each time we said a number and passed it. Our song Willliam Tell Overture has lots of accents in it! Those notes all should be louder. I’d like to see anything the kids have done on their compositions. I want them to play something at the recital/showcase at the end of the semester. Please send an email attachment or text a picuture to me of anything they have done so I can update it on my end and we can finalize their pieces soon! I’m planning to teach classes for Recorder and Ukulele this spring/summer! Either of these would be a fun addition to the piano knowledge the kids are gaining! Click the links to find out more about each! Here’s this week’s homework assignment sheet and we’re doing the BLUE highlights! (You can click the image to open a PDF!)  For this class, consider yourself already registered. Materials have already been purchased. We’ll just call it a continuation from this semester. The cost will be the same as it was this year. Please let me know if you have any questions! Have a musical day! |
