- stop if you make a mistake and figure out what the mistake was and which of the 3 causes of error it was

Sacred Music Competition
Morning Prayer
- m. 6, 8, 17, 19 remember F#
- work any difficult measures extra until easy – start from the end so that you are less tempted to just play start to finish. You want to repeat a measure or short segment a few times in a row so that you learn it. If the section you play is too big before you repeat, you will forget what you just played, so then shorten your selection to repeat
- try putting hands together with the easier measures
Musette
- practice “throwing” down the arm weight on each note of the 16th note patterns. Go slowly until you are able to do this well, then each day try playing it a little faster
