Plans for 3-14-2010
by Mr. VanStrien - Sunday, 14 March 2010, 08:57 PM
 
I am at home today with a sick child. Your biggest goal today is to make sure that you are comfortable and proficient at note names on the grand staff. Tomorrow (Tuesday) will be the first time you are graded on the speed and accuracy of the note names. Remember, this is a critical step in your success and enjoyment of the class.

I have added a few new links in the assignment section on emusictheory.com These should help you become faster at identifying note names.

Teacher code for emusictheory.com is 683.

If you feel you have become comfortable with the note names and you speed is quick you may begin using Finale notepad and experimenting with its features.
