Hello 5th graders!
Welcome back! Here's what we're up to this week!
In lessons, we:
Started to learn how to tune our instruments using fine tuners! Turn the fine tuner clockwise to make the pitch higher and counterclockwise to make the pitch lower. Basses can use their tuning pegs to adjust as they play
Reviewed the first 8 pages of the book, which have a variety of exercises and tunes in the keys of D, G, and C
In orchestra this week, we
Reviewed the first 8 pages of the book
Received our first orchestra pieces: Chasing Dreams and Winter Sleigh Ride (see recordings below!)

Have fun!
