Today was lots of fun. Here is what we did today. Wonderful to have our principal, Mrs Ruane join us on percussion today.
Musical Families
We began by looking at the four musical families. We had a closer look at a clarinet and a trumpet. This year we add wind instruments to strings in our instrumental class . We learned how to make our first note B, how to separate notes by tonguing and what the note looks like on the stave. Can you make up your own sentence and play it to note B
