OUR LAST CLASS IS NEXT WEEK! DECEMBER 6th
I thought we learned some great things in today's class. We were on Lesson 11 where we learned that our fingers are numbered from 1-5 starting at our thumb. We also learned about the perfect hand position which is like holding a ball. You can practice how to hold your hands at the keyboard by placing your hands on your knee caps before raising your hands to the keyboard. We did some finger exercises on our legs to help strengthen our little finger muscles.
We also go lots of practice with the wood block today. I played a few rhythms and you took turns as well
You also learned some new musical terms: Treble clef, Bass clef, and dynamics p and f. p stands for piano (soft) and f stands for forte (loud)

You finished level 5 today! Next week you will have Mr. Bach as your teacher. You also learned about our fingers being numbered so you'll be all set once you reach level 10!
To Practice at Home
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!
