Have any of you ever gone deer spotting?
Deer spotters take a bright spotlight with them out into a field at night and try to catch deer in their light. Today we are going Spot Spotting in your music. What does that mean?
Parents, make a list of all the practice spots mentioned in the last lesson, as well as any other tricky spots your child is struggling with.
If your child struggles with putting line 3 of Cuckoo hands together, put that on the list. If they need to practice G arpeggios for Minuet 2, put that on the list. If they keep forgetting the special chord in French Children's song, put that spot on the list. Each spot should be only a few measures long. Do not put an entire song on the list.
Number the items in your list from 1-6. If you still have more items, start the numbers again and continue numbering 1-6 until all the items have a number.
Give your child a die to roll. Declare that Spot Spotting season has begun and have them roll. How many spots are on the die? Practice the items on your list, checking off each one as you complete it.
