1st Period -- We learned all of Go Tell Aunt Rhody! Let's work really hard, line by line to make sure nothing gets forgotten (at least 10x per day, one line per day. Then, at the end of the week, put together the whole song, and play it 5-10x per day until next class). We are also working hard on being able to play our Twinkles faster. Parents, the secret to this is using less bow. Keep reviewing French Folk Song & Lightly Row as well. I'm putting the "music" to Go Tell Aunt Rhody at the end of this entry.
2nd Period -- We worked really hard finishing Minuet 2 this week. Make sure to practice the green box part at least 10x per day. Work on any additional hard spots 10x per day as well. Then, make sure you do the whole song WITH repeats at least 3-4x per day as well. Our practice focus this week for Minuet 2 is having PERFECT NOTES & BOWINGS, and I know y'all can do it. Also, please finish memorizing the following, if you haven't already.
Twinkles
Lightly Row
Aunt Rhody
Minuet 1
4th Period -- We also started working on Go Tell Aunt Rhody this week, and learned the 1st line. Please work on those really hard. If you want to try to go on, with Mom's help, you can try to learn the middle part, and then surprise me this week. We are also reviewing French Folk Song, & Lightly Row. This group is doing really well speeding up the Twinkles . . . . remember to keep your violins up. I haven't listed numbers of repititions for this group, because it seems that whatever they're already doing at home is working -- so keep up the great work!
Go Tell Aunt Rhody (Bracketed notes are shorter, eighth notes while the rest are quarter notes, or longer)
