Rhythm
- Do 5-Part Lap Map, making up your own rhythms. You can look at the Longy rhythms and choose ones you see there to try
- Then do 5-Part rhythm the “old” way
- stop if you make a mistake and figure out what the mistake was and which of the 3 causes of error it was
Scales and Technique
Play D Major Scale
- hands separately then together
- remember F# and C#
- remember the crossing over/under happens around the finger 3’s, and the RH goes first, then LH, then on the way down LH starts then RH
Keep practicing Ocean p. 38-39
- count out loud
- be careful of where the hands shift to different notes (they circle the finger numbers to help remind you)
- practice m. 7-8 slowly at first to make sure you have the pattern right
