Repertoire

In the Spirit  Etudes p. 20

  • practice m.17-24 first 1 measure at a time, focus on changing from one hand position to the next
  • when playing through, play m17-24 twice before doing the Da Capo
  • for LH chords m.9-14, see the pattern of movement from one to the next as you practice this separately

Morning Prayer

  • resist the temptation to look at your hands for confirmation, try to visualize the LH chords instead

Clementi Sonatina Op 36 No 1 mvt 1

  • do focused work 1-2 measures at a time, and every few days play hands together straight through
  • any time you have broken chords (m. 5, 6, 16) as blocked chords so you’re not reading individual notes
