C major scale and arpeggios – hands together

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

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 – RCM Book 7 – finish up at your own pace

Bach Prelude in C Minor BWV 999

• Keep your Eagle vision m. 15 and onward. This will feel very uncomfortable at first, but try to encompass seeing the entire measure and not just the first or last half at a time
• Be sure you don’t speed up along with the Anticipation that is happening here – imagine that horse and cart are going up a slight incline
• use the metronome start to finish

Kuhlau Sonatina Op. 20 No. 1

• learn Exposition hands separately – find a good slow tempo to start so you can keep the same tempo when you get to the 16th note runs

I Giorni – Einaudi

• Work on making the melody at least a mf and the LH pp in the beginning. This will help the longer melody notes carry over the busier LH
• Do the 3 steps listed above in Bach. Make sure you do not let the bad coach in as you are playing
