We will begin to make the connection between walking and counting in a four beat pattern

We will continue the walking exercise while adding the word "and" between the numbers

In this lesson we will incorporate the left hand into the rhythm pattern

In this lesson we will incorporate all of our limbs to play a complete pattern while counting

We will take everything we have learned so far and demonstrate how it works on the drums

In this lesson we will listen to the bass part of a song to help us find where beats 1-2-3-4 are.

We will listen to chord on the piano to help is find where the beats are

We will listen to different element of music ; bass line, drums, chord changes, and melody to help find the beats

We will focus on the vocals of a well known song to see where the beats are

We will listen and discover musical phrases.

We will incorporate all the lessons so far and play a rhythm pattern while music is playing

We will continue from the previous lesson and again play a rhythm pattern while (different) music is playing

In this lesson I describe the difference between Pulse and Rhythm

In this video we will be learning how to use an egg shaker

In this lesson, I will give a definition of what a "pitch" or "note" is.

In this lesson we are introduced to listening and singing techniques to help find a note.

In this lesson we use a tuner to help us find notes and sing in tune

In this lesson we learn how to sing between a high and low note and tell the differance.

This video contains a test in which the first note can be higher lower or the same as the second note.

This is an additional High- Low test, if the first test was easy, then you can skip this.

In this video we will be learning the names of the notes on the keyboard.

We will learn about octaves.

In this test the answers will be either:

High (meaning the first note is higher than the second)

Low (meaning the first note is lower than the second)

Same (both notes are the same)

Octave up or down (the notes are an octave apart, please indicate if it is higher or lower)

You will learn how to figure out and play a song just with your ears

We will find two notes in a sequence

In this test you will tell the order of the notes I play.  You will need to discern which note is High- Medium and Low

Low (the lowest note of the group)

Medium (the note between the low and the high)

High (the highest note in the group)

an answer could look like this: Low - High - Medium

In this lesson we will find a sequence of three notes.

I will discuss what elements make up a key, it's purpose and will include supplemental documents for the 12 keys.

Time to figure out another children's song by ear, this time in a couple different keys.

Happy Birthday!

A continuation of the previous lesson

We are introduced to a new chord!  the minor 6 chord is a passing chord which is used in 1000's of popular song.

In this lesson, I demonstrate how the same chord progression is used in a variety of song.  The purpose of this lesson is not to learn the songs but to open your ears to harmonic motion. (fancy for chords)

In this test, each chord will be played two times, please answer either "Major" or "Minor"
