happyWell, back to work! I'm so excited to be teaching 5 groups of Music Moves for Piano - grand total of 16 kids in the program. Had a little bit of a glitch this week (books didn't arrive on time), but no worries. Hopefully the books will arrive by next week.
This week, the kids will be working on the following skills:
- chanting 2- and 4- macrobeat duple meter patterns
- body awareness and how to play a key
- keyboard geography: finding groups of 2 and 3 black keys
- creating at the keys.
- rhythmic continuity
Their creative activity this week is to choose an animal, and experiment at the keys to make that type of animal sound. I'm already surprised at the student response.... the students have made fast sounds for cheetahs and soft sounds for a cat drinking milk, all without prompting from me.
