String Update/Assignment

Third Graders
Today, we practiced reading music on the staff, and identifying each note.  Sometimes it's tricky to get them right away- working on it at home will help you memorize the notes!  We played through Jingle Bells, one measure at a time, then tried to do the whole thing.  The students did an excellent job- ask them to play it for you at home!

Assignment:

  • D Major Scale
  • Page 14- focus on Old MacDonald.  
Fourth Graders
4A:  Today the students played Jingle Bells with the bow!  The 4th grade beginners are starting to catch up with the other 4th grade students, which is awesome.  :)

Assignment:
  • Page 15
  • If page 15 goes well, please move on to page 16!
4B:  For fun, we read through a new song- Deck the Halls. It was a lot of fun!  The students played part A in the lesson.

Assignment:
  • Deck the Halls- you can play it for your family!
  • pages 31-32
We will start music for our Spring concert when we get back from break!


(Thank you Paul for videotaping while I played piano!)
