April Group Lesson

This month's focus was Jazz music.  Some of the performances included, "Dinosaur Stomp", "Ice Cream Blues", and "Cool Breeze Waltz".  We learned about Wynton Marsalis and listened to him perform on his trumpet.  We spent time practicing finding notes on the keyboard and practiced with flashcards.  Thanks to Natalie, Allison, and McKenzie for being my helpers!






March Group Lesson

This month was all about Disney songs.  We enjoyed some awesome performances by some great students. We also learned about the Sherman brothers, who composed songs for many Disney movies, including "Mary Poppins" and "The Jungle Book".  Our theory focus was fingering and finding notes on the keyboard.
