You will be expected to be online with us during class time. I will ask that everyone has their camera on and that I can see your face so that I know you are engaged.
Assignments will be posted here as well.

Week 2 - January 11-15
Eli - this week you will need to download the music we started last week in class.
I am attaching both the Blue Scale worksheet and the first song (It Tastes Like Chicken).
For the Blue Scales - you need to know all four scales. We do them as written, and then, repeat in cut time (twice as fast). Scale 2 and 3 need to be memorized as we do improv on them almost daily. I will begin calling on you in class to do some improv exercises with us on those scales.
The new music is a ROCK style piece. I gave you the flute part to learn on mallets. Since this is rock, you do NOT swing the 8th notes.
