Purple Magic Lesson 4

Parent week next week!! 💕

Check out the 2 min video on the bottom of this page for instructions on this week’s theory assignment.

Your kiddos need a little more support on Bounce & Roll and Alouette this week. Please take some time to sit by them and walk them through it for a few days. Thanks!!

We’ll be adding new note flashcards on our next “parents day” class (Lesson 5), so now’s the time to make sure your student really has a handle on the Treble Clef Space Notes. It will be much easier for them to learn new notes if they’re already really good at identifying the old ones

Alouette
This song is jam packed with opportunities for musical development. We will further develop our sight reading skills (playing something we have never seen before), stretch our experience with playing intervals, encounter rhythmic reading and learn more about the classical ABA ternary form (see pic below) with our fingers instead of JUST our ears. And you thought it was just a fun song you remember singing as a kid, huh?

We also learned about the repeat sign this week and how it makes us ‘repeat’ something in the music. Here’s a fun dance you could do with your child to help them remember to ‘dot dot do it again.’

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!
