This is an excellent attempt, and you’ve done most parts correctly, and few mistakes here and there. Tootly and the Caterpillar are so proud of you!
Dear Parent,
You may have noticed how the children are now learning the notes behind the familiar exercise songs. This will help in internalising pitch and musical value of notes. That in turn helps them to sing any combination they may encounter in songs they learn even on their own.
Please see our point wise feedback below:
Confidence and Independence – excellent
Understanding of the concept or exercise – good
Singing/ Pitching – good, needs some work
Rhythm – excellent
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – excellent
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – good
Notes:
This is not an easy task – we hope you enjoy and appreciate the musical knowledge Liarra is gaining. She’s made a few mistakes that seem like due to her not remembering the exact tune of the phrase. For now, best to listen to say the first full line of caterpillar sargam, then repeat; then listen to second half and repeat etc – till she builds the musical memory to sing entirely on her own.
Knowing the notes also helps us play the song on an instrument – so if you have a keyboard handy, you can now play these songs on the keyboard. Just google for which key is ‘C’ and start playing all the white keys from there! If you don’t have a keyboard – you can try to play here: http://www.musicca.com/piano . Just consider a white key labelled C as your ‘sa’ and ignore the rest of the labelling! Send us a video if you can 🙂
