NEED TO KNOW
Blue Bugs #14: I can't believe we're to the end of the year! We have only one class left, and I'm going to miss your students so much! Our final class is a Parent Day, at regular class time. We're gonna have a good time!
END-OF-YEAR-RECITAL: I was so proud of your kids and how they showed off at the recital on Saturday. Way to go!
ALMOST DONE!: There is only one class left! Next week's Parent Day will be a fun review of everything we've done this year.
REGISTRATION: If you haven't completed your registration, here is the information to do so.
GOOD TO KNOW
PRIMARY CHORD SONG: The new activity this week was singing a broken primary chord on command. The kids sang the correct chord a cappella for me when I held up the colored triangle. They did fantastic! This shows us that their aural brain is internalizing pitches and their ability to sing in tune is developing. These concepts are helping to developing a complete musician. Laying this solid aural foundation now will help your student take dictation in 3rd year and write their own composition.
SUBDIVIDING BUGS: We also tried out another new skill where we subdivide the bugs. Check out the skills video here to do the activity at home!
FUN TO KNOW
There is just no end to the William Tell Overture renditions! This one is a Just Dance routine that is so much fun!
Bugs have helped us learn official music rhythm notation. Here are some fun bug crafts to keep the bug theme going!
