Learning about Major scale pattern and chord progressions with the ukulele.
Book: I Can Do Hard Things
It was so fun to see everyone back at school. On our first week of music, we got reacquainted with the students that were in 4th grade last year and got to meet friends that are new in 5th grade this year. We watched the video of the book entitled "I Can Do Hard Things." We discussed how learning music can be hard sometimes. We talked about how it is ok to not know it all, make mistakes, be yourself, have hard days, and ask for help. I am looking forward to working with all 5th graders to learn how to read music on the staff while learning how to play the ukulele. It was a great week!!
Ukuleles are available to use in class. If you would like to bring your own, you will need to take it back and forth from class since I don't have enough room to store them. Contact me if you have any questions.
There is an Alpine Foundation account for music class. Please consider donating. The money can be used to buy new strings for the ukuleles as well as take care of any maintenance. Please contact me if you have any questions.
We have been getting ready for our Christmas Sing. This will be held on Friday, December 15th. Performance times will be posted on Ridgeline Review. We're excited to share what we have been working on!!
