Seventh Grade: First Month Ends

It's hard to believe that we have finished a month of school. It seems like yesterday that we were out on the lower school field on the first day of the school year. Time flies when you're having fun and we are having fun. This morning we are continuing our work on playing the blues. I am encouraging the group to count off and rehearse themselves as I sit here and listen. There is much stopping and starting and some discussion as to who is not following the chords. The chords are written on the front board and each student is contributing to the rehearsal. Seldon has emerged as the leader and is calling out chords.

All this is preparation for an assembly in late October. The group will perform their blues for the students body and Dale will play a blues solo using the blues scale. Today I will let them know that I put us on the schedule to perform.

Students:
By the way, if you follow this link www.all-guitar-chords.com/ you will find diagrams for all of the chords we are learning. This is a free site and contains songs you can learn. Have fun!
