String Update/Assignment

Third Graders:
After we played the D scale in unison and as a round, we focused on "Old MacDonald."  For fun, we played a variation on the second line, and it was so much fun!  I  think we might play it that way in the concert!  We also reviewed "Song for Christine" and "Frere Jacques."

Assignment:

  • D Scale, with varied rhythm
  • Concert songs (see photo below)

Fourth Graders:
4A:  Today we learned the first part of Submarine!  It can be tricky to read those G string notes, but you did a great job!  Remember to check back in the book if you forget the fingerings.  

Assignment:
  • D Scale, with varied rhythm
  • Concert songs (see photo below)

4B:  Today we spent some time finishing up the Submarine song!  You all did an amazing job playing the beginning, so it was fun to play the song in its entirety.  

Assignment:
  • D Scale, with varied rhythm
  • Concert songs (see photo below)
