TUITION: Thank you for getting tuition in! If you didn't get it in, I'll send a reminder/request.
GOOD TO KNOW
BUG SCALE: We can now play UP the C Major Scale with the right hand! Place the RH in C position and play with fingers 1-2-3 (C-D-E), then anchor the 3rd finger, pop the bubble, and kick the thumb under to land on F. Then reset the bubble and play 2-3-4-5 (G-A-B-C). They're getting so good! Here's a video from the online lesson series explaining it!
HOW TO SKIP: We will master all the middle notes with this song: Middle B, Middle C, Middle D. We use the same 3 fingers (1-3-5) for the entire song! Simply move your hand position! You can sing "C, skip-up, skip-up, skip-down, D, skip-up, skip-up" etc. emphasizing each anchor note. This is where the practice of seeing and playing those middle anchor notes connect!
FUN TO KNOW
We've been working with the metronome for a while. But now that we've started our gnome puppet show, this drawing might help your Yellow Arrow remember the name of it! The Gnomes Puppet Show is officially called "Funeral March of a Marionette," and was written by French composer Charles Gounod. You can get the printable mini puppets at this link. Or the coloring pages at this link!
