Mar 10, 2026

Rhythm

  • 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

Scales, Chords, and Technique

Work on Eb Major scale, one hand at a time, then together

  • it’s good to look at your hands
  • figure out first where your black keys are, then try playing the scale

Technique:

  • Learn p. 12-17
  • use 3-10-3 for Winter Wind

Theory

Do p. 10-17 (it’s a lot, so do whatever you have time for)

Lessons

Learn Two Spirituals p. 32-33

  • play the chords on the top of page 32 first to get used to the I V7 chords
  • count out loud, but try to count in your head as it gets easier
  • do 3-10-3 to learn these

Performance

Try using the Practice Rotation spreadsheet for all of your pieces

Keep practicing Theme by Haydn p. 12-13

  • use 3-10-3 to learn
  • write in counting and count out loud

Fairy Tale

  • continue doing 3-10-3
  • play through what you’ve learned every few days so you don’t forget
  • try to look at the music and not your hands yet – focus on feeling the notes
