Repertoire

Minuet in G p. 6

  • Try memorizing this. These are the measures that will need some work (they usually are rhythmic errors): m. 7-8, 12, 15-16, 22-23, 31-32

Clementi Sonatina p. 16-17

  • Work hands together for the rest of the piece with counting out loud. Notice anywhere you stop counting is a place where you have the incorrect rhythm. Slow it down and figure out that part

Tarantelle p. 34-35

  • gradually speed up, but don’t go faster than you can do with good hand posture
  • finger 5 seems to still want to flatten out. Might have to trim the nail on this on further, but also make sure it is always curved

Christmas

We Wish and O Come –

  • counting out loud
  • write in fingerings as needed
