Tiny Seeds - Week One

Level 1A

Today Jonathan, Isabella, Cameron and Ava had their first MusIQ Club class and completed Lesson One. They worked with our first composer in our lessons, Mr. Ludwig van Beethoven. Mr. Beethoven was a composer who lived over 200 years ago! We talked a bit about Mr. Beethoven's life and music and then I turned them over to him for the lesson. Mr. Beethoven taught them about high bird notes and low whale notes. Everyone was able to understand and catch on. We also briefly talked about the musical alphabet - we'll talk about that more next week. We played some games in which everyone had great fun and we even did a little improvisation.

Things to Remember: High bird notes are played with your right pointer finger and low whale notes are played with your left pointer finger. Also, a composer is a person who writes music for people to listen to and play for a living.

Great job this week everyone and I look forward to seeing you all next week at Tiny Seeds!
