Blue Bugs Lesson #11

Teacher Tidbits section:

GREAT things are happening in class! I’m excited and enthused to see them learn and grow each time they come to class. Thank you for "playing" music with them and being such great consistent parents!

We’re at the final stages of enrollment for next year and are wrapping it up! You still have until April 15th to register and enroll your student. I realize some of you are waiting on other details before finalizing your class time. Just be sure you watch the deadline so you don't get a late fee.

Our year end recital is coming up soon. I will be preparing the recital and sending home practice instructions soon. Keep your eye out for these notes.

Purpose in the Play Section:
On Top of Spaghetti
Today we talked about the word harmony as we sang and played “On Top of Spaghetti”. The students know harmony is two different sounds that sound good together. Learning to sing harmony helps them to sing in tune and stay on their part. It develops the inner ear and lays a solid foundation for becoming a complete musician.

Making Musicians Section:
Baby Bumblebee
Sing this well known song with your child this week. I will be asking them about it in class the next week and I want them to be familiar with it.

Baby Bumblebee
