New Notes D and A

Today   there was Spanish flavour to the classes . We learned :

1 How many notes there are in the musical alphabet. Can you remember the number ?Answer at the end of the post.

2 We learned how to play pizzicato on the next two strings  D and A

3 We had a roll call clapping our names . Most names had how many sounds?

4 Everybody is really good at rest and playing position. There was a shoulder policeman in each class . What was his job?

We played pizzicato on G to Vivaldi in G ,  pizz. on D to Twinkle Twinkle and finally  to the Toreadors March.  Where would you find a Toreador? 

New Words: TEMPO    or speed
                     Fingerboard    Long black piece of wood under the strings.

Ms Vaughan's class heard me play a duet Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps with Aileen Sexton .   Hopefully we will have a visit from her again soon.

Some people made really good leaders. Lets see if I remember . Naomi, Seosamh and Ada were leaders today.
