- Both students perform ABA in unison
- One student performs A, their partner performs B, then the first student performs A
- One student performs A, their partner performs B, then they perform A together
- Both students perform ABA, with one person playing all quarter notes, and the other playing all eighth notes
Next week they will play them for the class and we will definitely post them on the blog.
The second grade students have also been working on a class composition. Each class worked together as a team to write a two measure song, and the students (working in pairs) have been writing lyrics. We discussed the importance of matching up the syllables with the rhythm - each note must be paired with only one syllable. They have done an amazing job, and we can't wait to share them with you next week!
Third grade students learned low D and low E this week. Since the purple belt song, "Old MacDonald " is a challenging song, we went over the song again and practiced play a G to a low E.
Our fourth grade students continued to rehearse for All Town Chorus and finished "Bridge to Athlone" folk dance. Here are some pictures of the students having fun performing the dance:
