This week, you and your child will be changing bars on the glockenspiel! Locate your “extra” bar which is engraved with a small flat sign. (The flat sign looks similar to a lower case b.) This is the b-flat bar and will be used to replace the b bar.
With the b bar in place, it is possible to play songs in the key of C Major, using the notes c, d, e, f, g, a, b, and c.
With the b-flat bar replacing the b bar, it is now possible to play songs in the key of F Major. The pitches in this key consist of: f, g, a, b-flat, c, d, e, and f.
Your child will now be able to play “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on the glockenspiel in the key of F Major. The music is written out on Activity Page 14a.
If you would like more information on tonality, please feel free to talk with me after class or email me!
