Halifax Independent School P-2 and 3-6 Wk 3

P-2
We are moving right along in this class. You are doing great!
This week we learned how to read circle notes.

In lesson 4 we reviewed our songs and rhythms followed with Mr. Beethoven showing us something new. Instead of using birds and whales, we read notes! You did very well on this.
We could use some more practice with our rhythms.

I'm going to recommend that you practice at home if you can. Remember some of our sayings from lesson 3? "Ti-gers ne-ver make good pets"
This week, instead of sayings, we read numbers. You can practice clap backs with someone in your family such as "1 2 3+ 4" 1-2-3-4+" Have someone clap a rhythm while counting, then take turns; you clap your family member a rhythm for them to clap back to you.

Pieces composed by Beethoven that we listened to this week were: "Symphony no. 5" and "Sonata Pathetique" These two pieces have some angry Beethoven moments.
Miss Melody let us listen to pieces by Joseph Haydn: "March" inspired by a clock and "Surprise Symphony" which really does surprise you!

3-6

Will, you had another successful class today. You finished the rest of review on note values (eighth and sixteenth notes) and then went on to the bass or F clef 1-3 i-viii. You got through most of the exercises at the end as well! Way to go! Next week we are learning/reviewing reading the notes on the staff.
