Week 3
The New Note Low "d" and Note Review
"Music develops the appetite for learning and creates habits of self-discipline and personal tenacity which carry over into every facet of school. Young musicians are skilled at concentration, alertness, memory, and self-control. These attributes are basic for success in higher education, but more importantly, in succeeding at life."*
*The Joy of Inspired Teaching, by Tim Lautzenheiser, p. 55.
We've had fun with our African-American unit. This week we created our first 4-section ensemble, reviewed the 7 notes we already know, and also worked with our new note, Low "d" (in the space just under the staff).
Enjoy your daily home-play this week as you review all of our rhythms and practice drawing low "d."
