Blazing Bows week 7

Blazing Bows   Teacher’s  Blog  Lesson 7

 2 November

It was wet and windy today.  I called to see the class in their classroom .  We looked at the new notes we need to play Twinkle ,  Twinkle.   We heard  what a ( sharp ) # sign does to a note.   I played a movie theme for Jaws  based on a scary semitone or half step .

In the hall our new step was placing our first finger down firmly  on the A string to make new note B.    We learned how to play a scary tremolo by moving our bows very fast on the string.

Finally we revised our favourite ‘Rock You’ with our bows  .  Bow  grips are looking good !

Stephanie was awarded bonus points  for effort  and  thanks  to Jake and Dylan who  to helped to  pack up.
