Lesson #12

No class next week for Spring Break! Parents come the following week and final tuition is due! If you are unsure if you are caught up on your payments or not, please just ask.

Next class we will choose what your child will be playing in the showcase. I'll give you each a couple options. I'd like all the kids to have a couple opportunities to shine. Remember, we are not a performing group, but we do like to showcase what we've learned, so please have them practice their part. They don't need to have it memorized, but they will feel more confident if they do.

The Ants Go Marching
Marching to this fun song helps us learn to keep a steady beat. We also reviewed the cadence pattern SOL LA TI DO. Repetition is key to training the ear!      

Baby Butterfly
This song is hard to get out of your head once you start singing it. This activity is designed to help the students identify bug rhythms and rhythmic patterns in the songs they are singing. In class we went on a bug hunt!

Jungle Rhythm Review

DO, RE, MI 2nd Verse

We have been using solfege for a while now. If your child needs more exposure to help them remember the hand signs, click here to read a very helpful article on the LPM blog. Also, I made my own quick videos of how you can remember the signs.    
       
Turn on this fun video of the "Ants Go Marching" and have your kids act out the catchy nursery rhyme! An added bonus...it's great exercise!
