4th Grade -- Because some students had new violins without tape to help them place their fingers, they seemed very confused in class. We took a class off today, and I put tape on violins for students who remembered and checked in with every child. It was a positive experience. It will also be really helpful for students not taking lessons for their parents to review Strictly Strings with them at home. The information students need is at the top of every page.
We will continue to work on Jingle Bells and Mozart serenade on page 20 and Folk Dance and Can-Can on page 19. These songs only use the D and A strings. I have distributed copies of fingerings for students who feel helped by them.
5th Grade -- The songs on page 9 seem like they will be more rewarding than the songs on page 7. Next week we will work on San Severino, The Minstrel Boy, and Trumpet Voluntary, all on page 9. I have previewed Classical Bash for the students on page 10, and we will start this medley of 4 famous classical themes (Beethoven's 5th, Haydn's Surprise Symphony, Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and Beethoven's Ode to Joy) in a couple of weeks. Students could start previewing at home.
6th & 7th Grade -- Students have shown great sight reading skills as we have delved into a bunch of new music in More Strings Extraordinaire. We will continue working on to polish for future assemblies Vive la France (10), Hymn of Praise (15), and Rigaudon (18). I will add other songs to our list of songs to polish, but we will also continue exploring new music next week.
