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
