Purple Magic Lesson 8

NO CLASS NEXT WEEK for Fall Break. The week after that is parent week!

I really appreciate you parents spending time practicing with your kiddos each day. A few minutes investment each day will pay off with happy, successful kiddos in class. You will be shocked at how far they progress in a year of consistent practice.

If your kiddo is still struggling with reading the notes, scroll to the bottom of this post for a link to an online game to review note names.

Song of Joy
After experiencing it with our bodies, your child is ready to execute this tricky upbeat rhythm with their fingers. This song is also an opportunity to play as part of an ensemble in class and to audiate the model in their head while playing on their own.

Speaking of playing as an ensemble staff, check out this live instrument flash mob of Ode to Joy in Spain!

How’s it going with your flashcards? Have you shuffled in the treble clef lines yet? Click here for an online game to quiz your student on all of the treble clef notes we have learned so far!

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!
