We’re going to focus on competition music for now. If you have time once you return you can do pieces from the books

Beethoven Ecossaise:

• Do cycling, 2 measures at a time, go slowly if you make any mistakes or have hesitations.
• Also practice putting in pauses right before you have a place of hesitation, allowing yourself to take as much time as you need to get ready before moving

Thursday: review m. 1-2, spend 10 minutes on m.3-4 with the above instructions, 10 minutes on m. 7-8, then 10 minutes on m. 9-10

Friday: spend 10 minutes on m. 13-14, 10 minutes playing through the whole thing to see what other measures need more work, then use up the next 10 minutes to work on those measures

Saturday: play through with repeats, work on any measures that need extra work 10 minutes at a time, three times total

Sunday: play through  3 times

Monday: go through very slowly 3 times (no repeats)

Tuesday: play through 3 times up to tempo, with repeats

In the Spirit:

Thursday: 10 minutes using cycling m. 9-10, 10 minutes m. 11-12, 10 minutes m. 13-16

Friday: review m. 1-16, then 10 minutes m. 17-18, 10 minutes m. 19-20, 10 minutes m. 21-24

Saturday: play through whole piece once, make note of anywhere that still needs work for tomorrow’s practice – write them down for yourself

Sunday: do three 10-minute segments working on problem areas you wrote down from yesterday’s practice

Monday: play through whole piece very slowly, with repeats

Tuesday: work three 10-minute segments on areas you are still struggling with
