Thank you for coming to class today!

No parents next week! The following week is our last class, station day (yes, that means the music store will be open), and our celebration! Station day will be abbreviated so that we have time to celebrate by listening to all the kids play their compositions for each other. 

I will be giving the kids a special graduation gift at the end and I need your help to create it. If you haven't yet, can you please send me a picture of your child from around summer/fall of 2022 (this is when they started LPM) and a recent picture. You can send it via text or email. Thanks!

In case anyone is interested, I used a free computer program called MuseScore 3 to create your kids' composition. It's a fairly intuitive program with LOTS of good tutorials on YouTube. If creating their own song was especially fun for your kids, I encourage you to download this program and let them play around with it. Here is a link: https://musescore.org/en

Yankee Doodle

This familiar favorite will have us adding chords to a melody and learning to improvise in a varied accompanying style.

Our Let's Play Music blog has a fun post all about Yankee Doodle and gives all sorts of little known facts as well as ideas to continue practicing through the summer!

I value open and honest communication so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or comments.

Thank you!
