Beginning Chorus Wednesday 10/24/18

Wednesday 10/24/18    Beginning chorus

We worked on measures 22-32 in Hallelujah chorus, and we worked on measures 1-16 on Flow water. Since we took the Theory test for unit 1 we got our unit 2 packet today. We only talked about seeing whole and half steps on a piano. A way to tell the difference is if 2 keys are directly next to each other without one in between (even if 2 keys are touching there might be a black key between them) then it is a half step. If there is one in between (including black keys) then in is a whole step.

We have sight reading factory this week is going to be counted as a QUIZ grade you also only have ONE chance to do it before submitting. It simply is sight reading solfege (Do,Re,Mi...) on a staff with only 1 step at a time.
