Hello 3rd graders!
Here’s what we did this week in class:
Reviewed proper playing position, paying extra attention to our LEFT (not plucking hand) thumb and where it now sits.
Reviewed our new notes E, F# and D string. PLEASE REVIEW THE LAST TWO WEEKS' PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO HELP YOU WITH THESE NOTES!
Reviewed Hot Cross Buns and Mary Had a Little Lamb. Students who have been practicing these tunes for a few weeks seemed really confident and comfortable! At this point these should be starting to feel easy!
Reviewed our newest note: G! This high G is played on the BLUE tape for violin, viola and cello. For bass players, just go to your G string! Again, last week's message has helpful photos and tips!
Listened to the opening of “We Will Rock You” and reviewed how to play it.
In classes where we had time, we went on to pages 6-7, as these songs just use our notes D, E, F# & G!
Master We Will Rock You page and finish the writing assignment
Try to master pages 6 and 7 in the book and if you want, try to go on to page 8!
Want to do some baking this weekend? Here's a RECIPE for Hot Cross Buns!!
