MMII Lesson 24 - One Little Owl & Excellent E!

Dear Families,
Here is the Lesson 24 Homework Support video for "One Little Owl."
During class, Excellent E was introduced on the staff and glockenspiel.
We also learned about whole notes, which are held for four beats, the Treble
Clef, and crescendo and decrescendo.

"One Little Owl" 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 EIGHT notes on our glockenspiel and musical staff: C, A, D, F, G, B, Bb and E.

"One Littel Owl" will be used for homework this week, and also for our next lesson.
Our steady beat homework this week is to play an E -B bourdon, which means both notes are played together, first using whole notes, then half notes, and finally quarter notes.
Remember to practice drawing Excellent E!

Happy Practicing!
Ms. Brigid
