MMII Lesson 26 - Woodwind Family & New Note Delicious D

Dear Families,
Here is the Lesson 26 Homework Support video.

This week, we were introduced to Delicious D, or Low D, on the staff and glockenspiel,
and met our final instrument family, the Woodwinds. In fact we learned a song about
four important members - a song that has three beats to the measure.

Up to this point, we have sung and played 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 songs. Songs that have three beats have a different time signature!

We will use The Woodwind Song for the next two weeks.  This week, sing and play  a D - A bourdon using dotted half notes (three beats long!) to practice our steady beat. Try playing 
a quarter note bourdon. Easy schmeezy!

We now know nine notes on our glockenspiel and musical staff: C, A, D, F, G, B, Bb, E and
Delicious/Low D.




We are Music Masters!!

Happy Practicing!
Ms. Brigid
