  • Count out loud
  • Hands separately
  • Look for chords, scales, and arpeggios

Tarantelle p. 34-35

  • Count in your head
  • if you have to look down at your hands be sure to look back up at the score so you don’t have pauses from one idea to the next
  • work on dynamics
  • work on balance between the hands based on which one is important
