What have we been learning in choir?
What have we been learning in choir?
All choir classes have been hard at work the past 5 weeks learning (or relearning) the basics of reading music notation. They have been learning to recognize the clefs, key signatures, time signatures, bar lines, accidentals, and 5 different types of notes. They've also been learning to recognize the key signatures of F Major and G Major.
Additionally, they have been singing music example lines in class, both with guided instruction and without any help from me. Please see the image below to see exactly what each class has been able to accomplish in such a short time.
