Hi everyone! This past Wednesday (11/7/12), Sammy and I had our second lesson! We explained the treble clef, measure, time signature, whole notes, whole rests, and even taught them how to play a couple of notes! We wrote all of the definitions on the white board and went through each of them. We started by teaching them about the treble clef and measures. We then moved on to whole notes. We explained that in 4/4 time, one whole note consisted of 4 beats per measure. To help the kids better understand it, Sammy helped them clap the rhythms while I said "1, 2, 3, 4" out loud. For the last 15 minutes or so, we got out our instruments and divided up the flutes and clarinets. I taught the flutes how to play B flat. We gave them a small homework assignment and are excited to meet them again next week!
Today (11/9/12) was our 4th Google Day! Sammy and I realized how difficult planning lessons were, so we decided to use this time to create a schedule! We put together our whole lesson plan for the next lesson and made sure to go into detail so that we would not be overwhelmed during the actual lesson. We also found them some homework assignments and wrote out our own in-class practice assignments!
