Jam with Band

  • Jammed with the band students today: Sly and the Family Stone -  "I Want to take you Higher" Kids loved it and played with style and rhythm....instructions: 

1. Pick a note 2. Listen 3. Feel the grove 4. Play.....keep listening while you play.

  • We took turns and kids pretty much naturally traded eights. Most kids played one note....some found a note that they liked......Alto sax when crazy but gave it his all....lots of fun. New students played Do, Re & Mi.......II & III played the first two measures of Furioso: sFp. They're getting it! 

  • We sang Tonic, Dominant and Sub-dominant patterns: C.H and M.J. are almost able to hear patterns and echo them on instruments.
