For homework after the first class of the week: complete the self-evaluation sheet about the instrument they learned to play.
During the second class of the week, students will begin their exploration of a second instrument, learning how to assemble it, hold it, make a sound, care for it, play a three note song and put it away.
For homework: complete journal question #2: In a simple T-chart, describe the differences between your first and second instruments.
All students are invited to attend our Senior Choir rehearsal on Tuesday at lunch. Membership forms will be handed out.
Grade 8: This week, students will begin class by considering why music is important, and read the handout "Why Music?". They will discuss their progress toward their learning goal for our first piece "Alpha Squadron" with a partner, and will work to clarify any new notes or symbols in their score using their fingering chart, music glossary and other resources. After a period of practise, we will perform the piece again, focusing on improving measures 29-45.
During the second class of the week, we will work on the introduction section of "Alpha Squadron" to improve rhythmic accuracy.
For homework: set a new performance goal for Alpha Squadron and practise toward that goal. Journal Question 2: Consider your playing of Alpha Squadron this week. Evaluate your performance based upon your practising goal. Did our classes change your performance? Explain. Describe how you would like to change/improve your performance in the coming week.
All grade 8 students are invited to attend our Senior Choir rehearsal on Tuesday at lunch, and Senior Band rehearsal on Thursday at lunch. Membership forms will be handed out.
