Lesson #8 "Keep learning and growing!"

October 20, 2010

Quote of the Week:
"The happiest people in the world are those who keep learning and growing until the day they die." p.41 of "Raising Musical Kids" by Patrick Kavanaugh

Review:
Read book: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" (Full poem)
Clap Rhythms, Bow Rhythms, speak notes, fill-in-the-blank for notes of Twinkle
Play Mississippi Hotdog together, one note at a time, and individually

New:
Play “Twinkle Variations” all the way through!
Run Pony Run Pony
Wish I Had A Motorcycle
Sleepy (shh) Girl
Who's ready to check off?
Put Stars on Chart- Who gets silly bands? Anyone who can hold the correct form and play straight through the Twinkle Variations plus the Twinkle Theme. Everyone will get a sticker on the chart for each Variation they play correctly. Remember: Form, rhythm, and memorization of the correct notes is what I will be looking and listening for. If notes are slightly out of tune, then we can move forward and work on this as we learn more songs.

Practice: Everyone needs to play Mississippi Hotdog 10 times a day! Make sure you are working on memorization and correct form. Remember, it feels good to do something well! Give a good effort!

Preview:
Be listening to the Susuki book 1 cd. If you can hum the song,then you can play the song!
