When not working on recital prep some of us were having fun with Ipad games. I enjoy using the Ipad as another resource to help with note reading, listening, and rhythms. The 3 pictures below show just that. The first is from a game called Note Works and it's a great game to reinforce note reading on the staff. The second is helping the student hear if the notes are going up or down, from an app called Music for Little Mozarts. It's perfect for beginners. The final picture shows and example from Rhythm Cat where you have to tap along with the beat of a song. All of these apps and a few more that I use occasionally during lessons can be found along the top under Ipad Apps.
While some were reviewing using the Ipad, others were working on fingering for positions and scales.
Looking at December - We have 3 more lessons and then a 2 week break. Final lessons will take place during the week of December 16-20. With lessons resuming the week of January 6.
December will also have a fun Christmas listening challenge and perhaps another small practice challenge.
