Friday, August 29th...lesson 2

Ok, yesterday was so fun! I wish there was room for all you mom's to come and watch your cuties in action. Yesterday, was the debut of "echo edna" make sure to ask your kiddies sometime to sound like echo edna.....its a good laugh! Just ask them this: "How does echo edna sound or talk?" We mostly reviewed everything we did in lesson 1, but this weeks focus in theory is on intervals. They should be able to recognize a 2nd, 3rd and a 4th. (3rds are skips moms) (2nds are baby steps) and a 4th is a leap. Great jobs on the practicing and the homeworks. The paperclipping there activity sheet to their practice book is MAGICAL. Please remember to do this everyweek. Looking forward to more FUN!

Turtle Shells Begins!

I had two marvelous Turtle Shells classes. This is going to be such a fun year! our concept review for lesson 1 was a few things: 1. the black keys are in groups of 2 and 3; 2. bubble hands- holding the hands in correct positions; 3. intervals-two notes played at the same time! listen to your cd alot, play everyday and mom's need to sign your songbooks. The lets play music theory activity is matching each bug to its notation! HAVE FUN!

parent orientation kick off was a great success

First of all, let me say THANK YOU to all the mom's who came to the meeting. sorry for some of the technical difficulties, but that is what can happen in this high tech world. It was so fun to see everyone again and to hopefully motivate you to have a great time with your cutie this year. This year is going to be a great year of learning for all of you. Again, if you don't play the piano or are not musical, please do not be overwhelmed with your learning as well....be excited. This is exactly the classes you would need to start piano anyway, so take FULL advantage! and ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS!
I am So excited to get to see all of you next week for our first lesson! its going to be STELLAR!

THE SECOND YEAR!

PARENT ORIENTATION IS TOMORROW NIGHT! Some of you are probably saying to yourself, 'why do i have to go to another meeting" I know, I said it to myself everytime I went and I went to six of them. These meetings are the key kick-off to a successful year in the let's play music program. I will try my best to make it worth your time. So get ready for a fun-filled parent kick-off!
