We enjoyed another week of special all studiomaster class groups this week! I used the theme of Easter surprises throughout the class.
We opened with an ice breaker game. Each student pulled an Easter egg half out of a bag and then had to find their matching half. This also helped review their musical terms.
Next we did a little ear training with mystery eggs. The mystery eggs each had a small household item in them that students had to guess without looking. Some were able to guess, some asked for help before opening the egg….some items really stumped the. But it was wonderful to watch them engage their ears listening for the pitch and timbre of the sound in the egg to help them identify it.
Then we had SoloTime and each student played a piece they had practiced over Spring Break.
We did another mystery egg listening game but this time the mystery items were a treat to be enjoyed while watching a Piano Guys video.
Then we improvised as a group in 3/4 time .
We finished up with one last game of interval identification “survivor style” with Scrambled Eggs! The older students paired up with the you get students…but the younger students caught on so quickly, I’m not sure they needed the help!
