G 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

Do one unit per week – Units 5, 6, and 7 – don’t play the ensemble pieces

Redo p.  22, 27, and fix Unit 7 issues

Do one unit per week, Unit 8, 9, and 10

Nothing for now

Sonatina in C – Clementi

• hands together throughout
• try to get everything at one tempo, but do this through very slow practice

Etude – Khatchaturian

• page 1 hands together – be CAREFUL of your hand positions/which octave you should be playing in (especially LH)
• learn pages 2 and 3 hands separately – I want you to be able to play the whole thing hands together by the next lesson, even if you have some trouble spots and have to play it slowly
• Don’t polish the first page or the easy parts if you don’t know how to play any other part of the piece
