Adding Singing!

Everybody was in high spirits today, with lots of enthusiasm for music and fun facts in general! (One student had lots of animal facts in particular). In all three classes we used singing as a tool for getting to understand our instruments better. On Uke, one student was singing the notes in order to tune, and counting aloud, which has really improved his rhythm. On piano, another student shared that his goal on the instrument is to be able to sing and play at the same time, so we began with solfege and translated it to the piano. In our third class, a new student joined us, which brought even more enthusiasm to an already lively group. Singing solfege was so wonderful with this group, as you could really see their faces light up. One student asked if we would be doing more singing next week, because she enjoyed it, and the answer was a resounding yes!
