So, I finally got to see everyone in class, and I have to say, you guys impressed me. See, a few years ago, my older students were afraid to sing. You guys sing beautifully and without fear!
Now that I have taught the rules 30 times, we start getting into the good stuff this week. You guys know that once you get into third grade, we leave all that ta and shh stuff behind us. We're going to take this week to review practicing the professional way.
Fourth grade, you get to sing that song about the soldier that I played for you at the end of class last week. There are lots of great rhythms to count in that song.
Fifth grade, we're going to start learning some songs from the time of the Civil War. Those songs have some tricky rhythms for us to decode.
I'm still waiting on my Quaver access, so we may have to work on rhythms the old-fashioned way.
House point bonus this week- what is the magic number in music? You have to know it, not guess.
