What the Intermediates are up to!

Students in grades 4/5/6 have been busy learning all about the ukulele! They have learned the names of the strings, proper playing technique and rest position vs. playing position (very important!) :)

So far they have learned the song, "Don't Worry Be Happy", and "Wipeout". Two very different techniques needed, strumming chords, and picking the strings.





The grade 4/5 class have started learning how to play the recorder, and they are pretty amazing! In just a few short weeks (and I only see them 2 times a week for 45 mins), they have learned notes B, A, G, as well as E. They can play Hot Cross Buns, Mary Had a Little Lamb, and Ramble. This week they are learning a few new songs using their new note, E - BAGE Blues, and Skin and Bones.
