Google Day 4!

Today, Sammy and I picked out a song to perform. It's none other than the holiday classic: "Silent Night". As of right now, it's a go-with-the-flow type of process (as in we're learning the notes as we go). Sammy and I have learned the first line of the song and aside from our terrible tone (and my constant squeaking), it's coming along! We should (hopefully) have it in no time! :)

Google Day 4

Hello! Successful day! Jessica and I picked out our song we will play for our presentation which is Silent Night. It is a stretch but our goals are high and we are hoping for the best! Today I taught Jessica the first 4 measures of the song and vise versa. Our tones are HORRIBLE. BUT we are getting the notes out (sort of) and when playing for a fellow band member, he could identify the song we were playing, which is always a good thing! My biggest problem is I keep switching from the high notes to the low notes as I play. I need to control my blowing and not blow as hard. But after awhile I got the hang of it! (sort of) Jessica is getting the hang of blowing into the clarinet and though the first note is hard for her to get out, she has the fingering down!

Google Day 3

Sorry! My computer has been having some technical difficulties with the internet BUT I am fin ally starting to get some notes out of the flute! High notes seem to be more easier for me, being use to blowing hard on the clarinet, but my low notes, though takes a bit more time to get out, sound good too!

Google Day 3

Today Sammy learned how to play middle B flat, middle C, and middle D. And, she also learned how to play high B flat, high C, and high D. She is off to a great start and will be an expert in no time!
