Top priorities this week:
Solfege patterns: skips to Do and skips to La; use pure vowels of solfege for good tone
IPA for first five pure vowel sounds A,E, I, O, U
TRE:
Schooldays -- teach tune by rote, focusing on facial expression. Ask kids for ideas on some "choralography"
Compere -- solfege melody
Gavotte -- solfege with hand signals
Any review from last week
TR Central, North, West:
Name game
Music Alone Shall Live -- teach solfege; work tone and vocal line
Eli, Eli -- intro minor scale; drill skips ahead; read language using IPA vowels learned
Gavotte -- review hand signals. work in pairs
IMM break out
Pythagorean Round -- same minor scale as Eli Eli
Schooldays -- run if have time
Housekeeping: mini-flyers about SEPT 10 All-Family meeting; uniform measuring; audition flyers

TRE - 4 girls did well with Compere - we found the "titi Carabi & Carbo" lines and learned about measure numbers and how to find locations in music scores. Using the rhythm - we began learning 8th to 16th runs also with Titi carabi.
I need to firm up on chromatic hand signals for Gavotte! They did well, but are having a hard time (3 newbies) with scale degrees. They "say" the correct syllable, but sing the wrong pitch and don't quite understand the difference. Any suggestion on clearing it up will be appreciated.
Great approach to Compere. we'll all to use this one.
Chromatic hand signals--I'll go over that with you. Put in whole and half steps into the lesson this week. I got ahead of the kids in interval drill and notation last week. Back up a step and make sure we have the basics covered.
