Repertoire

Nocturne by Clifford Poole

Nocturne – Poole

Note: this piece can be found in the 2015 edition of the RCM Celebration Series Repertoire Book Level 7 (not the most recent publication). I’m not aware of any other resource where this can be found.

  • work this hands separately, very slowly for the LH

Clementi Sonatina Op 36 No 1 mvt 2

  • Practice transitions – repeat just the last note of one measure going to the first 3 notes of the next measure so you are ready for the new hand position
