Week of 4/1

Hello 3rd graders!

This week in lessons we will: 

• Warm up with some rhythm patterns on open strings.  Try them at home (see video below)!

• Review #89 Bile 'em Cabbage down.  We will review both the A and B part (remember, basses have the fun "slap bass" part for B!), then review the fancy ending (D A A B A rest  C# D).  We will then play the entire song!  And we'll review the improvisation that goes with it.

• Review #88 2 measures at a time, echo after the leader.  We will have students get to try leading each part, then will perform the whole song together!

• Finish labeling 91A if you didn't do it at home while each instrument section plays a note reading game!  (Try the note reading game below!)

• Review 91A together one section at a time, then play the whole thing!  Practice Part B for next time if you haven't yet! 

The assignment for next week is:

• If you haven't already, really master #88, 89 and 91 part A for our concert.  Now really learn 91 part B.  If you would like an extra challenge, try #73 Buckeye Salute!

• Keep practicing your note reading with your flashcards!  

• Try  Name that Note (below) at home!
