4-part Lap Map:

• improvise rhythms as you tap on the beats
• try not to look at your lap as you do this, but look at the picture and imagine that’s your lap

4-Part Longy Rhythm:

• do this with the Lap Map

Review C major scale (see sheet)

• practice hands separately a few times, then try putting hands together

Keep practicing Racing Bikes p. 18

• count out loud
• add dynamics

Learn Magic Doorbells and Legend of the Buffalo p. 19-21

• write in counting and count out loud
• do 3-10-3 for each of these. Only do it for one day
• add dynamics

Learn Rain Forest p. 34

• count out loud
• just play this a couple of times until easy (it doesn’t need the 3-10-3 method of learning)

Keep practicing Lightly Row p. 35

• since we already learned this with 3-10-3, just play through this once first to see what still needs work. Then do the 3-10-3 just for those sections you made a mistake on (see Performance for how to do 3-10-3 if you forgot)
• the next day, be sure to add dynamics as you play through this once or twice until you get them all in

Do p. 22-25

Learn Square Dance p. 16-17

• count out loud every time you play
• use the 3-10-3 method of learning songs:
  1. Do 2-4 measures at a time (if they are one hand at a time, do 4, if it’s hands together, do 2). Play that section 3 times in a row. Then wait 10 seconds, then play it again 3 times. Then move on to the next section and do 3-10-3 again, until the whole song is learned
• 2. Skip repeated measures
• The next day, play through the song first to see how it is. Any measures you make a mistake on, do 3-10-3 for it
• add dynamics
