Quote of the Week:
"Your child will progress in direct relation to the amount of listening and observing he does." Dr. Suzuki
Different types of listening:
1.Environmental listening- while driving in the car, taking a bath, eating, playing in house or yard, and especially, while going to sleep at night.
2. Active listening- clap hands, move to music
3. Review listening- the piece(s) completed.
4. Current listening- to piece working on.
5. Preview listening- to the next piece to be played.
Master Class Order/What we did this week:
Group: A scale, each note 2 times

Group: Play Twinkle Theme
