B-A-G!!

This week, third graders have been exposed to their first three notes! B, A and G!


Students received new handouts for their binders showing the four main types of notes that they will be reading in addition to the corresponding rests. 


The four main notes and rests that they should be able to recognize are: 
Whole Note/Rest 
Half Note/Rest 
Quarter Note/Rest 
Eighth Note/Rest 


Students were also given Rhythm Chart #1. They spoke all rhythms on Du and Rest, clapped rhythms observing rests and performed each rhythm on B, A and G. 


Practice will be broken into Practice #1 and Practice #2. Practice #1 will be what should be worked on between the first and second music class of the week. Practice #2 will be what is expected to be worked on over the weekend for the following week. 


Practice #2 was assigned today: Play Rhythm Chart #1 on B, A and G. 
Be aware of: Squeaking and Covering All Tone Holes!! 
Remember: Less breath will make a better sound! 


Keep up the good work, Musicians!!
