Thanks for coming to class this week, parents! I loved having you here to learn and participate with your child. Please never hesitate to reach out if you need help understanding the concepts we've covered in class or what your child gets to play at home.
Showtime
Your practice book indicates that there are three Showtime songs for this week! We'll play them in class this coming week.
Next week I'll just see your kids in class and then it will be Thanksgiving break. I appreciate all you do!
Away in a Manger
This repertoire piece is a fun one - using both hands in the treble clef. It's kind of a bonus song* along with Jingle Bells. We will show off that we understand the skills in class, but don't forget these fun songs and keep working on them over the semester break.
With the holidays approaching here is a Gift-Buying Guide for Musical Kids.
Thanksgiving Improv Game
Try this fun improvisation activity at home during the soon-coming Thanksgiving break, and sing all the things you're thankful for! Play as explained in the video, or switch it and sing a melodyand then add the chords that sound nice with it. If you get stuck, try fill-in-the-blank lyrics like "I am thankful for _______." or leave out the 'thankful' part and just sing two words like "____ and ____" (pumpkin pie and ice cream/music and piano/family and friends and especially YOU!).
