Lesson #14

Next week is Station Day! Parents attend and help their child through the different activities, and then join me for a parent/teacher/student conference to celebrate their accomplishments. 

On Tuesday, May 9th at Flint Hill Baptist Church in Fort Mill (269 Flint Hill Rd, Fort Mill, SC 29715) we will be having our Year End Recital. The recital starts promptly at 5:45 pm. I am asking that the students arrive a few minutes early and join me in the sanctuary for some important last minute instructions. This will also give me a chance to assure them that we're all there to have fun and celebrate them!

Recital Assignments (and this is how their name will appear in the program, so please let me know if there's a mistake!) - Here is a playlist with a video of each song to show how we will play them:

I Am Robin Hood: Brody Holst & Patrick Comstock
Tinga Layo: Ethan Graff
Practice Every Day: Jesenia Moya
Love Somebody: Oliver Brinley
Do Re Mi: Jackson Pebworth

Chord Transitions

Mom and dad, did you know I can play all the Primary Chords with BOTH HANDS with my eyes shut? The goal is to have their eyes on the music while they playing as much as possible, with only quick glances at their fingers. With their favorite song, invite them to memorize it and "see" the chords in their minds while they play with their eyes closed.

Mastering Playing Hands Together

This is likened to patting your head and tummy at the same time! Play hands separate until each hand is mastered, then put hands together one measure at a time. Slow and steady wins the race!
