October 18, 2023 – Marlene

Eb major scale (two 8va), arpeggios (two 8va) – hands separately, then together. Try to add in as much of gestures/rotation as possible. Keep fingers as curved as possible

Ploger: 6-Part Lap Map p. 68 improv

• try going back to do 4-part or 5-parts to see how those go

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

• Theory – RCM Book 6 Unit 5 – go at your own pace
• Sight Reading 5 Unit 11

Ensemble piece: In an Old Church

Bach Prelude in C Minor BWV 999

• start around m. 20 to practice this part more
• Watch out for RH m. 13 that you keep A natural and not shift down to G until the next measure
• m. 26 RH goes up to G
• double check notes in m. 29
• watch out for m. 34 chord change

Melody (Khatchaturian) and Enchantment – let’s put these on maintenance

The Limpid Stream – Burgmüller

• Learn hands separately, working on gestures for RH right away
• do some blocked chords for RH
