Here is some of what we did in class this week:

• We reviewed the sounds of a major scale, natural minor scale, and harmonic minor scale
  • Even though the scales were played in many different keys, the kids were still able to identify which kind of scale they were hearing!

• We practiced drawing ⅛ notes and ⅛ rests  

• We played a review game that covered many different concepts we've been learning in Bridge. We will play it again the next couple of weeks.

• This month is SPIRIT MONTH! The kids each brought home a BINGO sheet that they can fill in to earn tickets for the drawing at the end of the month. The squares can be substituted as necessary. For example, instead of registering for a class next year (since this is basically the last age group I teach), you can watch the video I made in class and then text me what you thought of it. I'll give 3 tickets for that!

This week your child will do the red and purple highlighted assignments at home! Parents need to initial completed assignments this week in order for the kids to get their reward in class!

Be sure your child is practicing their recital piece (primary song) every time they practice. They don't need to play the entire song, but they need to try to make a small section of it perfect. Use those sticker charts I gave you!

Don't forget to please help your child pass off their songs and scales to earn pins! You just need to send me a video of them playing. The scales can be played with or without the back track, but they need to be perfect at least one time with both hands.
