We had our February group lesson. That is a bit of a misnomer, since we had it in March! We did a Steps & Skips activity which demonstrated the similarities of steps and skips in the musical alphabet, on the keyboard, and on the staff. It was a neck-and-neck race between Matthew and Brykelle to get to the top of the staff.
Then we mapped out rhythms with rhythm blocks and talked about measures, bar lines, and really fat notes. (You'll have to ask the kids about that one!)
We learned about Johann Sebastian Bach and his 20 children. We listened to his music and and did a word search using words from his life.
**Our next group lesson will be held Tuesday, March 29 at 5:30 p.m.
***Parents, please watch this month for notes in reference to the students practicing their recital pieces which will be assigned in the next couple of weeks. The recital will be held the first week of May. I will let you know an exact date and time by the beginning of April.
