Hi Everyone,
Here are your assignments for this week:
Ariel
What to practice: Valerie
How to practice it most effectively: Take a look at the chords we looked at in class, Emi and Dmi are good ones to review. Also take a look at the “One two three” rhythm we were working on for singing along with. We can look in more detail at fitting the melody with the chords as well next time!
Lucien
Recommended minutes to practice: 10 min/day
What to practice: C major
How to practice it most effectively: Play the first few notes on the guitar, try singing the letter names along with the notes. Also look at the “strings” on your page, and use “eddie ate dynamite good bye eddie” to find both the “strings” on your page and the strings on your guitar.
