EXCELLENT CONCERT, 4th GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!














==

==Students have received their instrument - Recorder! As we are also preparing for our November concert, I simply want the students to become comfortable holding the recorder correctly - left hand fingers by lips "L/L!" and the right hand at the end of the recorder, by the bell, not covering any holes, simply holding the recorder with the right hand thumb underneath and index finger on top.==

The tip of your tongue touches the roof of your mouth each time you play a note. Dah, dah, dah, dah.
==Students are to make up a simple ditty - rhythm - using ONLY the note B. This is improvising - making it up. It can be 5 seconds, 3 seconds, 10 seconds. It can be different every time you play the recorder and when you come to class. You can add A and/or G also. Remember: SIMPLE and SLOWLY. Listen for a good tone when playing EACH note.==

=Our concert is MONDAY February 27. The songs are about a school day, PE class and participating in sports. I would like the children to wear sports-themed jerseys e.g. Mets, Yankees, Steelers, WALLENPAUPACK or a team shirt for a sport they participate in here in the Newfoundland area. Girls may wear a cheerleading uniform if they belong to a cheerleading squad! Students may also wear gym shorts and sneaks!=



The letter names of the notes are A, B, C, D, E, F or G. There is no H in music!! Remember: to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle: A B C D E F G! That's the music alphabet you see! There's no H; there's no T; there's no W, X, Y, Z just A B C D E F G! That's the music alphabet you see!!

REMEMBER: The lines of the staff are E, G, B, D, F. The spaces are: F, A, C, E.
