6th Grade Percussion
We have officially started marimba! Students should be working on:
- Finding notes on the marimba
- Going up and down the marimba in half steps
- Going through the 5 Steps
- Enharmonic notes (notes that sound the same but have different names)
- Speed reading with a metronome (counts as practice time)
- Practicing marimba with correct playing position – create the rebound stroke!
- Reading music from lessons 2 and 3 without looking down (peripheral vision)
Practice card due Monday! Grades are given based on time practiced.
