Recap of the week and plans for next week.

Hello,
This has been a busy week. We are have finished Frere Jacques and have started When the Saints go marching in. I have introduced the most challenging music topic this year - Time signature and we are doing well. Some students who struggle with math, equivalent factions specifically will have difficulties with this programme. For next week we will be learning Italian vocabulary, tempo terms and an Frere Jacques keyboard test. Hope you have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Ms. Hsu
