Mystic Flute:

• m. 16 LH plays only fingers 1-5 (also for the whole song)
• m. 19 RH only plays whole note F
• at the end, lift your hands along with the pedal so you look like you are finished and the sound ends at the same time

Saturday Surfers:

• Work on all the dynamics – the fortes need to be really strong
• watch out for rests – they are just as important as the notes
• the last note needs to be LOUD and staccato
