Mount Edward Elementary P-2 Wk 6

Well done today!

We were on Lesson 9 today! We're almost at the end! In Lesson 9 we learned about notes that go higher and higher and lower and lower. Our new game today was called "Cliffhanger" It is a very short game which tests intervals going up or down. Parents can play this game at home by playing two note intervals going up in the treble clef or going down in the bass clef. The notes should be fairly close together-no more than 5 notes apart. Here is a game which you can play on your computer at home. You may need to download Flash Player. Click on the link below and then go to the game called High/Low. We haven't learned our notes on the staff to play the other games yet but someday you will learn these!

At the end of class, we all got to take turns giving rhythms to the class with the wood block. You were great!

New
We learned today what the words legato and staccato mean.
We also learned the letter names of the notes on the keyboard. Here is the saying I taught you. "The notes on the keyboard go like this: C-D-E-F-G-A-B"

Practice at home
If you have a piano at home, you can do what we did today: Start on middle C with your right hand and play C, then a higher note and then an even higher note! Do the same with your left hand: start on middle C and then go to a lower and even lower note. These 3 steps are like a ladder.
