Week of 3/10

Hello 5th graders!  

This week, we will have our String Jamboree performance and start lots of new material!

In lessons: 

We will review a few exercises on pages 12-15 for fun and to be sure we understand extensions.  We will also start a new piece - Blues for You.  This is a a fun piece in which we will learn about improvisation and practice playing chromatic notes!  This week we learned the G Blues Scale at the bottom of the Blues for You handout.  This week, work on mastering that scale, along with the whole Blues piece!  

In orchestra: 

We will receive two new pieces!
