Pink Piggies Lesson 12

We have 3 more lessons, but a schedule change to take note of:

Lesson 13 and 14 will be at my house as normal.

Lesson 15 will be an “Instrument Day”! We will be combining all the classes in one time to be able to explore many instruments together.

Where: Red Mountain Multigenerational Center

7550 E Adobe
Mesa, AZ 85207

When: Saturday May 14th 11:30-12:15pm

This class gives families a chance to share an instrument. Of course, performing is optional and you are welcome to just listen, but we would enjoy hearing from you, your child, or another family member or friend who plays an instrument. We welcome any and all performers! Let me know if you have any questions.

Two of the songs we sing this semester, Picaflor and Hey! Hey! Look at Me!, have only two pitches, SOL and MI. A third song, Doggie, Doggie, Where’s Your Bone?, adds LA for a total of only three pitches. This is because the SOL-MI interval is the easiest interval for the child to learn to recognize, imitate, and sing in tune, therefore allowing children to have successful singing experiences. We also use these songs to expose children to the musical staff and pitch relationships.

Optional home fun activity: Make the doggie and bone puppets on page 29
(Remember, these activities are optional but can be a great bonding experience to do with your child during the week.)

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!
