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!
