Purple Magic Lesson #4
Teacher Tidbits
Next week is parent week and tuition is due!
Now we’ve learned that a whole note gets 4 counts. An easy way to count 4 counts is to chant “Wa-ter-mel-on” and pat lap, clap, snap, clap. Also we learned how to draw a treble clef this week!
We’ll be adding new note flashcards on our next “parents day” class (Lesson 5), so now’s the time to make sure your student really has a handle on the Treble Clef Space Notes. It will be much easier for them to learn new notes if they’re already really good at identifying the old ones
"A slug is a ____ ____, it gets __, it has a little more work to do!" (have your child ready to sing this next week)
Purpose in the Play
Alouette
This song is jam packed with opportunities for musical development. We will further develop our sight reading skills (playing something we have never seen before), stretch our experience with playing intervals, encounter rhythmic reading and learn more about the classical ABA (ternary) form with our fingers instead of JUST our ears. And you thought it was just a fun song you remember singing as a kid, huh?

Making Musicians
We also learned about the repeat sign this week and how it makes us 'repeat' something in the music. Here's a fun dance you could do with your child to help them remember to 'dot dot do it again.'
