January Studio Group

 We've been building our note reading skills all month and had a lot of fun at Studio group!

• 'Say then Play' scales to reinforce the relationship between the fingers and notes(pitch) on the fingerboard. 

• High/Low Space/Line Bingo: Identifying High or Low notes and Space or Line notes.

  Notating a scale and adding note stems. Ask your child if they remember the rule! 

*If the note is above the middle line the stem goes down, if the note is below the middle line the stem goes up. Extra points if they can put the stem on the correct side of the note!

• Fingerboard Geography: Can you play two (different) D's on your violin? 

• Fine!: Spelling any scale in order (G maj. scale: GABCDEFG). The first one to say Fine! wins. The Italian musical term fine (pronounced fee'-nay) marks the end.

• Musical Twister- who knew the twister mat could double as a fingerboard?! 

Students learned about and were able to identify enharmonics (notes with the same pitch but different name)!
