Station Day!!!

Here we go Station Day!!! Have fun! Round up the whole family if you'd like. These are a great way to celebrate what we've learned, as well as see some different kinds of application of the skills we've been working on.

• Play this Jeopardy-like quiz game: https://www.playfactile.com/purplemagic/play
• Escape the Room by finding some fun clues:  https://escaperoomlpm.wixsite.com/home/purplemagic
• Open to a random piece of music (a hymnal, piano method book, Yellow Arrows songbook, etc.) and identify all of the things you know - look for note names, accidentals (sharp, flat, natural), measures, bar lines, time signatures, etc. Celebrate music literacy!!!
• Act out the puppet shows from the past semester while watching musicians perform the music:
     - Skaters: https://youtu.be/pkRmdf5wOK4
     - Royal Problem: https://youtu.be/3ovqdRbCe40
• Sight read some Christmas music (download below).

So, tSSSoSo, the goal over the break would be a little bit of relaxed daily practice  to  keep the skills taught over the semester fresh and honed. I can't wait to watch them grow in our final semester, and see them become bona fide composers!!!

Now that we know all the lines and spaces on the staff, we will introduce the 'In a Flash Club' in our orange semester. Check out this online game to quiz your student over the semester break on all of the treble and bass clef notes we have learned so far! Watch out for what clef it is!

For an added bonus try this version and have your student 'Say it, then play it.'
