Lesson #8

Next week is PARENT WEEK and tuition is due for those of you paying monthly! You can scan the QR code to the right in your banking app to pay via Zelle (or just use my phone number).

There is magic in the air! We've learned everything we need to know to play "Magic Keys" the whole way through! Please be sure your child is using the correct fingers on the chords and on the transitioning scale. Remember to play B-flat any time you see a "B" in the key of F! Please let me know if you have any questions about this!  
   
Celebrate Connection

• Have parent sing while child plays, then switch places! Now both sing together!
• Name that tune! Child closes eyes and parent plays the first notes of a song... in how few notes can the child name a song?

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!
