Hello 5th graders!
This week in lessons and orchestra, we:
Reviewed the Dotted quarter note - eighth note rhythm, practicing it both with separate bows and with hooked bows.
Reviewed Rondeau #47
Reviewed "A Day in the Countryside" melody sheet
Tried "A Day in the Countryside" as written from measures 1-16 and 26-42. Spot where you have the melody and play out when you do!
Here is a lovely recording of #46 Theme from New World Symphony. The famous melody from the Symphony is sometimes called "Going Home." The great cellist Yo Yo Ma recorded a solo version of this melody in the spring of 2020, when recording beautiful "songs of comfort" to help people get through Covid. To watch his rendition of this theme, check out the video!
Here is a practice schedule if you'd like to use it as a resource to help you get some more productive practice time in! Print another copy below if you lost yours and would like to try filling it in!
