Gb major scale and arpeggios – hands separately then together

Ploger: 6-Part Lap Map p. 68 improv

• try going back to do 4-part or 5-parts to see how those go

6-part Longy Rhythm – do this without Lap Map, tapping on beat 1 only and whispering on dots. Use your good coach to remind yourself to go through the tough section first, then do entire right side, then start from beginning. When you can do this without a mistake, then you can add Lap Map

• Try to keep going if you make a mistake – identify the cause of error, and apply the correct cure in time

• Theory – RCM Book 7 – continue at your own pace

• Sight Reading – do p. 153 Tracking, 1. Seconds.
  1. Improvise solfège using your written key sheet – make a new one going from Fa to Fa. Do lots of descending patterns.
  2. Do Tracking page as before in different clefs, start from the 2nd half of the line

Bach Prelude in C Minor BWV 999

• M. 20 and on there seems to be a lot of stops and starts, which means we need to find a tempo that you can do this consistently. Work with metronome here, but maybe just one line at a time with the metronome, gradually speeding it up as you repeat each line another 2 times
• take a copy and highlight RH first beat, then LH beat 3 to beat 1 of next measure

Clementi Sonatina Op 36 No 3 Clementi Sonatina in C op 36 no 3

• Go very slowly putting hands together
• Use metronome to help keep your tempo at the same slow tempo

I Giorni – Einaudi

• Coda after fermata: work on creating the doorknob/seesaw/pivot effect between the top notes of Rh and the thumb, exaggerating the effect and going slowly. Try to get a sense of “throwing” your thumb or top of hand to the notes
