VIOLIN:VIOLA POSITION.MOVCELLO POSITION.MOVBASS POSITION.MOVReviewed (or learned for the first time) the "Ant Song" which teaches us the names of our open strings, and played it as a group
Looked at the "Open Strings Songs" and played the DAD song and, in classes where we had time, G Whiz! We added BAR LINES after every four beats of our open strings songs to help organize the music into "measures."
In classes where we had time, we played a few songs from our Essential Elements Book, pg. 4, using the open strings D and A.
For next week, please:
Make sure you have all your strings materials! Binder, pencil, Essential Elements book, shoulder rest (violins/violas only), endpin anchor (cello/bass only), music stand set up for home practice. LABEL EVERYTHING WITH YOUR NAME!!!
Violins/violas: ask a parent to put together your KUN shoulder rest . Cellos/basses: ask a parent to help you set up your anchor or unpack your rock stop. LABEL IT WITH YOUR NAME!
If you are missing the "Ant Song" or "Open String Song" papers, ask a parent to print them below!
