Feb 12, 2025 – Joaquin

C Major Scale 2 octaves hands together slowly

• Curve fingers
• Have the hand/arm angled outward
• level wrist (not high and low), and relaxed elbows

• 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

Unit 4 – do one part per day (remember the Lesson Day stuff other Ensemble piece are Day 6)

Redo p.  22 and 27

Do Unit 7

Left Alone p. 7

• Be sure to count and play VERY slowly
• try memorizing, as this will make it easier

Sonatina in C – Clementi

• put the whole thing hands together with counting out loud
• play with metronome at 84 bpm set to the quarter note and count while you play with this. The goal is to get Dev/Rec the same tempo with the Expo

Etude – Khatchaturian

• focus on page 1 for now, hands separately with counting out loud
• go slowly, and be careful of where the clefs change (all in the LH)
• try to figure out the pattern that’s happening and put hands together slowly
