Musik & Me – Featuring Lets Play Music and Sound Beginnings

Creating musical children…one note at a time!

Bridge Lesson

Lesson #13A

Here is what we did in class this week:

Online Fun:

Fun games to add to your homework!
Interval Identification – Ear Training (Level 2)

Build a Scale (Natural & Harmonic minor)

We reviewed how to know which interval we are listening to with a few easy tricks! And we have some fun visuals to go along with them! Don’t forget, we also have a fun way to practice listening to those at home (because I have this fun game on my website)!

  • 6th: "You’re Welcome" from Moana
    • the heart of te Fiti (but the swirl in the middle looks like a "6")
    • the same notes are used as in the blue chord, but in a different order!

  • 7th: We don’t have a song that goes with this, but just remember it sounds AWFUL!
    • NO! We don’t want to hear this sound, so we think of a "no" symbol that sort of looks like a "7"

  • Ocatave (8th): "Some-where over the rainbow"
    • a rainbow
    • our tone bells have 8 notes ant they are rainbow colored

  • Prime (1st): same note
    • the bottle looks like a "1"

We practiced drawing red, blue and yellow chords.

We reviewed the difference between natural minor and harmonic minor.

  • Natural minor: DO, RE ME, FA, SOL, LE, TE, DO
  • Harmonic minor: DO, RE ME, FA, SOL, LE, TI, DO

We reviewed our notes, rests, and the counting that goes along with them.

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

Please send me any composition music your child has made. So far I haven’t seen any modifications from any of the students. If they don’t want to do their own compositions, we can have them just play one of their favorite Bridge songs at the recital. We will be making compositions next year as well, so there’s no pressure to do it this year if they don’t want to.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Have a musical day!
