Portland Estates Elementary 3-6 Wk. 8

OUR LAST CLASS IS DECEMBER 14TH

Good job this class. For those that were away last week, you finished the lessons in Theory Thinker (2-1 Musical Rests) and then practiced the pieces that you missed. At the beginning we went to Key Quest games to practice note placement on the staff.

We spent the majority of class practicing our pieces for the assessment for our 10th class. You will each be playing 2 pieces for me as well as your C+ scale in the right and left hand. Some of you also finished some worksheets that I had given out last wee on note and rest values. I will mark them and give them back to you next class.

PIANO PLAYER PIECES

• Pop Goes the Weasel
• On Top of Old Smokey
• Get Up
• Away in a Manger (some got to)

We did review with:

• naming intervals
• note and rest values
• clef names (treble or G clef, bass or F clef)
  
• Terms (legato and staccato)

Next week, we will be doing our written practice exam in class, and you will take the final written exam home with you to complete and give to me in our last class. See you then!
