Nothing this week.

Theory/Ploger

  • p. 2-3

  • read Chapters 1 and 2, read through Ch. 3 if you have time

Ch. 1 pdf: chapter 1 three stages of learning

Ch. 2 pdf: chapter 2 three causes of error

Piano Adventures

Go through p. 6-21 to start.

  • play Amazing Grace p. 12-13, Camptown Races p. 15, Merrily We Roll Along p. 19 and p. 21 every day until easy. Then proceed to the end of the Unit p. 27
  • all of the exercises on the other pages you only need to go through once or twice total

Steps for practicing:

  • tap the rhythm with your hands and count out loud for the long notes
  • when rhythm is easy, then try playing, still counting out loud for the long notes
  • if you make a mistake, resist the temptation to start from the beginning. Instead try to start right on or right before the mistake
