Hello all,
Happy October! This week will be shorter due to Fall Break at the end of the week. 6th Grade- Students have learned the proper bow hold and posture, and they are now applying the bow hold and posture to playing on the D and A strings (D and G strings for basses). We are continuing work in the Essential Elements Book 1, pages 15-20. Some concepts include Down/Up Bows, Repeat Signs, Quarter Note, Quarter Rest, counting, eighth notes, key signature, sharps, scale, and D Major. PLAYING CHECK #1-- Essential Elements pg. 19, #64 D Major Scale (MAKE-UPs this week) 7th Grade is now working on Saint Nick's Canon on the Housetop , A Christmas Symphony , and Dance of the Tumblers for the Winter Concert. It is important that students practice outside of class to work on difficult sections of the music.
