MMII Lesson 23 - Naughty Kitty Cat & Bb!


Dear Families,
Here is the Lesson 23 Homework Support video for "Naughty Kitty Cat."
During class, Bb was introduced on the staff and glockenspiel.
We also reviewed time signatures.

"Naughty Kitty Cat" is a 1-2-3-4 song, which means there are four beats in every measure, 
so the top number is a "4." The bottom number (we're using a quarter note) shows us what the beat-keeper is.

We now know SEVEN notes on our glockenspiel and musical staff: C, A, D, F, G, B and Bb.
Remember to practice drawing flats on the other side of your homework. The stem is two spaces high, and the body of the flat looks like half a heart! Though the flat is drawn in front  of the note, the note name is said first, e.b. B flat instead of flat B!

Remember, this week's homework is to Say it (on ta and ti-ti), Sing it (on note names), and Play it (play the whole song on the glock)!  

Happy Practicing!
Ms. Brigid
