Orange Roots Lesson 8

This week we learned the A minor scale and cadence, did rhythmic dictation for the first time, and practiced drawing a bass clef.

Parents attend next week: We will have Showtime for New World Symphony

Orange rhythm flashcards: all 16 cards should now be unbanded.

Russian Sailor Dance

This song is ALWAYS a student favorite. Another great repertoire piece that reinforces ABA form, improvisations, and provides a study in legato and staccato themes. But it's the the accelerando at the end that will have your student BEGGING to practice it all the time!

Now is the time to make plans for after Let's Play Music ends. If you are interested in continuing with me, I will be teaching a group class for Let's Play Music graduate class called Bridge: a group class that and helps bridge (get it bridge, haha) the gap between Let's Play Music and private lessons. If you would like to continue private piano lessons with me, I do have some availability for that as well. Either way I am happy to give you more information. Finally, if you want to look for another teacher for any instrument, here is a great post on our Let's Play Music Blog with tips on how to interview and what to look for in a private teacher.
