NEED TO KNOW
Red Balloons #12: What a great group of kids are in Red Balloons this year!
ONLINE MAKE-UP CLASSES: Now that we're in the time of year where sicknesses rotate through kids everywhere, this is just a reminder that our LPM classes contain lots of repetition and missing a class or two here and there is no problem. Your student will be fine the next week. But if you miss two or three in a row, I would suggest to do a catch up video lesson to stay on track. You can purchase access to any class for four weeks. All details can always be found on my website at this link.
PARENT DAY AND TUITION: Next week will be a Parent Day. The last tuition installment of the semester will be due. I'll send an invoice later this week. If you don't get one, it means you've already paid for this installment! Thank you!
GOOD TO KNOW
SCALE UP OR DOWN: We played a game today to quiz your kids' ears! Each student got to hide behind a sheet and play the bells. They chose whether to play a scale UP or a scale DOWN, and everybody else got to listen and vote on what they heard They did a great job!
CHORDS IN PIECES: Your kids are getting so good at identifying parts of chords AND hearing which chord is playing!
FUN TO KNOW
In the Waltz of the Flowers puppet show, during the part where the butterfly kisses the flower, the chime sound is made by the triangle. During the puppet show time in class, we got out triangles and everybody played along with the song. It was awesome! Triangle days always remind me of this commercial with a triangle solo. And just in case you hadn't decided if musicians are total dorks, here is a remake of the commercial done by the Florida Orchestra.
