Hello 5th graders!
Here's what we're doing in lessons this week:
Playing the long Blues for You, and reviewing improvising -- now with the whole blues scale!
Handing out some ideas of things to play in 2nd Grade Stirngs demos!
In orchestra, we will:
Make sure we can get the whole way through both orchestra pieces!
This is the time to buckle down and practice hard and well! We will have a GREAT concert in a few weeks!
This week try to really get solid on everything! Play through the Demo Options packet and/or think about something you would enjoy playing in the 2nd grade demos.
And - have someone record you playing all of our pieces. Watch the video. What do you notice?
AND/OR:
Try playing along with recordings of our tunes!
Don't forget to slow down the tempo a bit.
Slow this one down to around 0.9 to get the goal concert tempo.
Practice improvising with the whole blues scale!
