Hi everyone, good job on our last rehearsal! We're really getting
to understand why we need these key signatures...
This week's assignments:
1) Begin our second workbook!! (Pages 1 through 4) ***
2) Finish marking our key signatures - make sure you write down
the names of the scales that each key signature stands for.
3) Take each and every scale and sing it, using
do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do. For example: The key signature with 5 sharps is B
Major, right? (why?? because the last sharp is an A sharp and then we go a half
step above - of course that's why!)
So it's a B Major - go to the piano and play the note B because
that is your Do! Then sing the major scale using B as your Do. Good!
Repeat this with all of the scales you have written in your key
signature page.
From now on we will take a look at the key signatures of all the
songs we work on! Now you are able to recognize the Do of each song you sing!!
(well, with a few exceptions...) That's a great and very important skill to
have!!
*** For some reason, it seems like some of you didn't understand
how much you should continue with the workbooks.
So, for those of you who have already passed beyond page 4 of the
second workbook - please continue for four to six more pages every week.
Also, conductor David asked to post these comments:
- Please use this
link http://picosong.com/L5tw/
to learn precisely how to pronunciate our Doraji. Listen to it repeatedly
around a kazillion times, until you know exactly how to sing it!
- You can also
watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Gb6rGycbk,
but learn how to actually say the words from the previous file.
“Doraji”’s pronunciation must be perfect for our upcoming
rehearsal!
See you soon…..
