Technique

Nothing this week

Theory

Do p. 21 through 25

  • Finish all the way by next time

Rhythm

4-part rhythm:

  • pay attention to which cause of error happens when you make a mistake and apply the cure
  1. Reaction: something new takes you by surprise. Cure: Eagle vision
  2. Anticipation: this can be daydreaming, or getting worried about a difficult part coming up. Cure: Eagle vision, get back into feeling your tapping, hearing your singing/whispering
  3. Looking Back: You look back to a mistake you just made and start talking to yourself about it. Cure: Tell the “bad coach” to stop, and keep moving forward

4-part Lap Map:

Practice this by itself , making up your own 4-part rhythms
