Google Day 2

            For the past couple of weeks, Sammy and I have been reaching out to multiple organizations that we could work through to teach children about music. We remained undecided about whether we were going to teach at Buckman Elementary School in the SUN district because there was already a music program running there. So, Sammy was able to gather some information about another non-profit group created by her clarinet teacher. However, the Buckman Elementary School contacted us today and said that most likely we would be able to teach at their school.
            Today during Class, Sammy and I created a worksheet that we could use to teach the children the basics of music. Because these children have no prior experience or knowledge in music, we started with simple notes and rhythms. The worksheet contained how to read notes through concepts such as FACE and Good Boys Deserve Fudge (G, B, D, F). Also included on the worksheet were explanations for different beats and rhythms. We explained how one hole note equals 4 beats, and one half note has 2 beats, etc.
            Sammy and I are excited to say that we will probably have a definite answer from the SUN district about us teaching by the end of this week. Let's cross our fingers!
