Great!!! Lots of eager folks. Thanks for the room too, Daryl.
I will be ready to begin on TUESDAY, MAY 11th.
If you're tentative about joining up or aren't sure what to expect, here's a little more info:
I will:
1. Post a few documents (Microsoft Word Format) the first day as an introduction and the beginning stages of the course. Even if you think you know it, still print it and save it. One day, someone may ask you to teach them how to read music, or you may host a workshop at your church for the youth.
2. We will have a practice lesson--give a few days inbetween
3. Another lesson moving to the left hand and practice, and so on.
We will also learn:
Key Signature and how to simply glance at the music staff and know the key the song is in!
The Circle of 5ths as it relates to the key signatures
Time Signatures
Note Values (what is that note with the little flag on it??) :wink:
etc.
Where appropriate, I will also post midis and be able to scan some newer sheet music songs that we can practice on. BUT REMEMBER WE START WITH THE VERY BASICS. I'm a third grade school teacher, so basic is in my vocabulary.
I have about 6 MB work of files already just for this workshop. As the Lord leads and time permits, I will add more, take away, or make a midi here and there.
In the room, we can check in with each other, encourage each other, answer any questions. You can post a question (which I can answer or anyone can answer). It's like a lot of documents and material you may have seen online. The good thing here is the repoire with the instructor (me) and the repoire with each other---it will be like attending a class together
And no question is a stupid question.
See you all on Tuesday. Daryl, email me with any particulars about the room.
Love,
Lisa
