Our group lesson for the month of November was about the Musical Eras and their characteristics. We talked about Baroque and the rigid rhythmic qualities and the ornamentations. Then comes Classical, which loosens up a little and includes more fluctuations in dynamics. Romantic is flowing and emotional. Impressionism, which overlaps Romantic and Modern, creates pictures with music. And Modern jazzes it all up!
Last month, Makenna won a Beat the Teacher candy bar. This month, they all won a Beat the Teacher candy bar. You are all going to have to work harder for next month! I'm going to practice a lot this next month!
I sent home a piece of music with each them which is just one part of a four part piano piece. We will put them all together at December's group lesson.
