Recitals and Group Lessons!
My new favorite this year is the group lesson! I have been able to work with the students on the circle of fifths, rhythm and a variety of activities that is so much more fun with others. Our Christmas recital featured a lot of duets this year. This is a great concept for students to learn–playing along with someone else (on any instrument) and still focus on their own part. So here’s some of our activities. Unfortunately shoulder surgery and rehab has kept me from typing or posting too much! The students are doing fantastic about accomplishing their world cities! They are all working on a piece from another country that may be played at the spring recital. We have some big plans for that one…including some other instruments. The concepts I teach in group lessons (based off Orff Schulwerk has done wonders to fortify their foundations in music.
