Technique/Scales

C major scale and arpeggios – hands together

  • do 1 8va as quarter notes (up and down) then right onto 2 8vas in 8ths

Ploger

7 minutes max for each exercise – set your timer

** Do this every day**

Rhythm: 6-Part Lap Map p. 68 improv

  • 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

Do Tracking page as before

Theory/Sightreading

  • Theory – RCM Book 7 – finish up at your own pace

Repertoire

Bach Prelude in C Minor BWV 999

  • Make sure your eyes are the leader as you play. If you make a mistake or find you are using your ears or muscle memory to lead, get back into Eagle vision right away

Kuhlau Sonatina Op. 20 No. 1

  • Work 16th note passages in rhythms
  • continue hands separately into the development

I Giorni – Einaudi

  • Work on more wrist rotation in both hands, especially when they are both playing 8th notes (RH seemed to need more work than LH)
  • avoid playing through this piece – focus on getting difficult passages to be a bit faster and then play through every 2-3 days
