Jazz & Jaws

This week we learned what a semitone sounds like and I played a solo violin version of one of the scariest movie themes ever that featuring a certain well known shark and,  as it was Halloween,  the jig the Lilting Banshee.

We learned what a # sign does to a  note .
We  worked on our hushed tremelo for a prelude to  When a Child is Born       (G )
We adapted our Rock you riff to Jingle Bells (Down Up Bells )    G or D
We played pizzicato on our new open string E  in our accompaniment to Away in a Manger 
Composer Corner featured  a piece by 20 century American Composer Cole Porter  Now You Has Jazz  featuring a jazz band .  COOL ! We took a close up look at a clarinet. Check out jazz legend Louis |Armstrong on our Video Clip
A  special thank you  to Shauna Kearney  who worked very hard  to have everything ready for start of classes.   Friday is practice day.
