Hey Everyone
We learned about music notation in the Rhythm Kitchen last class. We also played a few matching games related to music from "LittleEinsteins". I have attached a copy of the Rhythm Kitchen story inChapter 3 of the Adventures in Musicland Storybook. I found that theoriginal story format was too long so I will continue to "rewrite" thestory and send these to you. You can print it off and tape it insidethe book if you like.
1. Please review the Rhythm Kitchen food items on pg 6 in the ActivityBook. For example, Valerie was very good at picking out the notepattern that would match with the spoken word syllables for the fooditem. BREAD... is a long sound, like a whole note; AP-PLE-PIE is likethree quarter notes; PEA-NUT BUT-TER SAND-WHICHES is like a group ofeighth notes joined together and "sand" being a longer sound like aquarter note. Children understand food!
2. Play the two black key-CAVES and three black key-CASTLES in abroken format with one finger still to match patterns like PAN-CAKESand PUMP-KIN-PIE respectively. Invent other food words to use.
3. Continue to find Cat, Dragon, Elf and Giant and other ones too if you like.
Get ready for "Flight Training with Blue Fairy" next time.
Have a good weekend!Deborah
I am a new Suzuki Piano Teacher with many years of experience teaching classical piano at the beginners and intermediate levels to children of all ages. I am creating this blog to capture some of my rough notes from teacher training, pedagogy books, workshops and experiences from my own studio. The earlier entries are taken from the lesson notes for the pre-Twinkle level class I had taught outside the formal Suzuki method. Your comments and feedback are most helpful. Enjoy!
