September 23, 2009

It's been a while since I posted, ah moving... Now that I'm getting settled in the new home and setting up the new music studio you will be seeing more Do Re Music notes updates!

Additionally, I am currently learning how to post video blogs so that I may demonstrate the pieces that the children are learning online. This will further help you assist your child in practicing the pieces at home on your piano or keyboard.

Update: I will be hosting a Halloween group class on Thursday, October 29th. This will be the first of the monthly group lessons that will be available several months out of the year. We will be playing music games and playing our Halloween songs. There will be treats! Come dressed in your Halloween costume. Time TBA.

This week in Do Re Music class:
We reviewed the song London Bridge-Sheet music is in your music binder. Listen to Track 4 on your Keyboard Games Book A CD with your child this week.The class did a great job keeping the beat, some opted to sing along as they played. It was very fun! This week have your child practice keeping the beat on the high notes and singing along. (please call for questions)

We played the musical game "Audie" in which the students recognized a familiar sequence of pitches.

We continued to learn the song "Johnny Had one Friend"-This song sheet should be in your music binder.

The children clapped different music patterns in Duple Meter-Duple meter is a beat that moves in two. Listen to Track 35 on your Keyboard Games Book A CD with your child this week.

Reminder: No class next Wednesday!

As always, please call me if you have any questions or comments.
