Great work on slurs today everyone!
We worked hard on adding slurs to our D major scales up and down. Please practise the whole scale now like this:
When that is feeling confident you can take the rests out:
We discussed all the dynamics in Gypsy Fiddle today. (Dynamics is the name we use for the letters/words that tell us about volume). We talked about the following dynamics:
f = forte = strong/loud
mf = mezzo forte = medium loud
mp = mezzo piano = medium quiet
p = piano = soft/quiet
< = crescendo = gradually getting louder.
Aiden shared with us that if you play with a tilted bow near or over the fingerboard you will find a soft sound. If you use your bow near the fingerboard it will make a louder sound - thanks Aiden! Could you all experiment with this this week and practise all of Gypsy Fiddle including the dynamics please?
Well done!
