This is excellent work, 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.
Shravya has done both exercises well. Please see our point wise feedback below:
Confidence and Independence – excellent
Understanding of the concept or exercise – excellent
Singing/ Pitching – excellent
Rhythm – excellent
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – excellent
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – excellent
Notes: This is not an easy task – we hope you enjoy and appreciate the musical knowledge Shravya is gaining. 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 🙂
PS: Shravya made a small mistake towards the end of the caterpillar song – we think it was because there was some break and she lost thread. But don’t worry she sang everything else so well.

Look forward to hearing more from Shravya.
