Yesterday, Jessica and I planned out out today's lesson plan. It wasn't as complicated as last times because we already knew what we wanted to do with our kids and have already started to work more independently with our own kids lately. So today we corrected their homework that we gave them last time before the Thanksgiving break and gave them another little quiz on note names! (Which they did wonderfully on!)
I was surprised to hear than both my clarinet students had practiced A LOT over the break and had improved on their tone quality without me even nagging them to! (WAY LESS SQUEAKING!!!) So after teaching a few more notes (A, G, and F) we started working on the first few measures of the Jingle Bells in the Red Book. They were both very excited to start a song that they knew and worked very diligently for the whole lesson. Then I assigned them homework to know the very first line of the song well for next time! At the rate we are going, we should get the song down in no time!
