I love seeing the coloring in students' piano books! It’s completely acceptable and we will color more in class!

Celebrate Connection
A few ideas to bring playfulness to practice time!
  • Play the first measure of a song, *piano* and the next measure *forte*, the next measure *piano*, and the next, *forte*, etc.
  • Video record (or voice record) a song and send it to your LPM teacher (or Grandparent!).
  • Have parent sing words while you play.
​
Homework: p. 32–33 Students identify solfege patterns.

Primary Chords Song
Do you want to build more snowmen? Combinations of intervals build chords. We will use ‘snowmen’ to teach the 3 common shapes of chords throughout the 2nd year of Let’s Play Music.
​
A ROUND snowman shape represents the Red Chord built with two stacks of 3rds.

A TOP-HEAVY snowman shape represents the Blue Chord built with a 4th on the bottom and a 3rd on the top.

A BOTTOM-HEAVY snowman shape represents the YELLOW Chord built with a 3rd on the bottom and a 4th on the top.

For my convenience, I have preloaded content for the whole semester. I will update each future post with specific time-sensitive info before I send the link each week. If you choose to read ahead you might see details that don’t apply to your child’s class. For this reason I do not recommend reading ahead. Thank you!
