HOORAY and CONGRATULATIONS to all the Orchestra members for last Tuesday's concert! The Fall Scary Concert is one of my absolute favorite things all year, and this one was one of the most special occasions thus far in my career! Thanks for all of your hard work.
Songs of the Week:
Grade 8: Halleluia, beginning to A
Grade 7: Dragon Dances, Beginning to 13
Grade 6: #64 in the book, for your quiz
Assignments:
Grade 6
Our goal is to continue learning more notes and rhythm patterns as quickly as possible before Winter Break.
Quiz on #64
Practice pages 20-22 in the book.
Grade 7
Scale Unit: We are focusing on learning how our finger patterns and key signatures change as we start a scale on different notes. Page 42-45 in the Purple Book will help you figure this out.
Also, begin work on new pieces
Dragon Dances: Notes and rhythms
Amazing Grace: Slower and sustained playing
Grade 8
Scale - Bb Major on Pg 28-29 of the Green book
Chanukah - watch out for all the key changes!
Halleluia - rhythm, rhythm, rhythm
Concerto - the eighth notes get the beat at the beginning and end.
