Yellow Arrows Lesson 14
- Station Day is next week and parents attend! Practice every day these two weeks to be prepared for the recital.
- Recital Friday May 3rd @ 6:30-8:00pm
- Wear LPM tshirts
- PLEASE help your child avoid embarrassment and feel confident by rehearsing their songs with them on the piano until they are comfortable playing it at a sing-able speed.
- Wed 3:30 class is playing “I am Robin Hood” pg. 1.
- Fri 3:30 class is playing “Primary Chords” pg. 2

Celebrating Connections
- Sing and act out Robin Hood with your child, even better, as a family!
- Find intervals on the keyboard with mini marshmallows, toy cars, legos, etc.
- Have your parent sing while you play, the trade places. Now both sing together!
Chord Transitions
Mom and dad, did you know I can play all the Primary Chords with BOTH HANDS with my eyes shut? The goal is to have their eyes on the music while they playing as much as possible, with only quick glances at their fingers. With their favorite song, invite them to memorize it and “see” the chords in their minds while they play with their eyes closed.
Mastering Playing Hands Together
This is likened to patting your head and tummy at the same time! Play hands separate until each hand is mastered, then put hands together one measure at a time. Slow and steady wins the race!
Enjoy reading about the lasting positive musical effect of a Let’s Play Music graduate years later!
For my convenience, I have preloaded content for the whole semester. I will update each future post with specific time-sensitive info before I send the link each week. If you choose to read ahead you might see details that don’t apply to your child’s class. For this reason I do not recommend reading ahead. Thank you!
