Good morning everybody. I know that some of you have been looking for an opportunity to earn some more points and so here is an opportunity. We are going to practice drawing treble clefs. You need to either do it on the staff paper I handed out in class or using a blank piece of paper, draw six music staffs or staves if you will. Then on each of the six staves, please draw one treble clef.
In total you will need 6 treble clefs. Once you have done this please submit a picture to Google Classroom to earn your credit.

10/21/20: Fretboard mapping continued.

Good morning everybody. I hope that you have had some good rest and are up enjoying the day as much as possible. I'm asking that we please continue our efforts to map the fingerboard. I know in our previous video I talked about having two strings mapped and that was E and A. I'm changing that slightly here just to make things a bit more manageable. I am looking for string six only today. We went over it in class on what I expect but I am also reattaching the video from our last assignment as a reminder. Please do the following:
1. Complete the morning check-in.
2. Make a video of yourself mapping the 6th string.
3. For those who map more than one string you can earn a FREE 100 to replace any grade you are not happy with.
4. Upload your video to this assignment.
5. Go forth and be awesome.

Buenos dias a todos. Espero que hayas descansado bien y disfrutes el día al máximo. Le pido que por favor continuemos nuestros esfuerzos para mapear el diapasón. Sé que en nuestro video anterior hablé sobre tener dos cadenas mapeadas y eso era E y A. Estoy cambiando eso ligeramente aquí solo para hacer las cosas un poco más manejables. Estoy buscando la cuerda seis solo hoy. Lo repasamos en clase sobre lo que esperaba, pero también estoy volviendo a adjuntar el video de nuestra última tarea como recordatorio. Por favor haga lo siguiente:
1. Complete el check-in matutino.
2. Haz un video de ti mismo mapeando la sexta cuerda.
3. Para aquellos que mapean la cuerda uno, también pueden ganar 100 GRATIS para reemplazar cualquier calificación con la que no estén contentos.

2. Draw a nut and lines to represent the strings on the guitar.
3. Draw the frets in just like I showed you how to do on the video.
4. Draw in the letter names above each, "string".
5. Make a video of yourself fingering and naming the notes on each string out loud just I did later in the video. (Fast forward to about minute 4 and that should get you close.)
6. Complete the morning check-in.
7. Be awesome this weekend!

Buenos dias a todos. Pido disculpas por la demora en esto, pero estaba realmente estancado. Ahora no estoy atascado, así que nos ponemos en marcha.

Tómese unos minutos para ver mi video y luego haga lo siguiente:
1. Haga su propio diapasón de guitarra con un rollo de papel toalla o una pequeña pieza rectangular de madera que sea aproximadamente del mismo tamaño que el mástil de su guitarra.
2. Dibuja una nuez y líneas para representar las cuerdas de la guitarra.
3. Dibuja los trastes como te enseñé en el video.
4. Dibuja los nombres de las letras encima de cada una, "cadena".
