Hello Hammonds Plains.
A couple of great classes. We’ve met and had the chance to play with the accordion and the melodica. Two piano based instruments held and played in very different fashions. We’ve been able to dance to them as well!
Our last class is next week, Dec. 8th. Parents are welcome to come in and hear some of what we have been learning in a small recital. This will be at the end of class, around 12:40. This is, as of now, 100%. We are optimistic that the teachers strike will not affect our classes. Currently, we have been assured that they will not.
Here is how we are doing in our lessons:
Lukas
Lukas is doing great with the reading! Now we have finished Level 10. We’ve played double notes, holding notes and notes going higher and higher and lower and lower. Now lets spend a couple more minutes with the rhythms and we will be all set! To keep practicing just the rhythm, put on free mode in settings and forward to the last part of the lesson where they review the rhythms
Practice
Miss Melody on Level 10 as well as bongo boy. Bongo boy will also help us with our rhythms.
