Sonatina in C by Kuhlau –

• start in m. 17-18 and do 3-10-3. Then do m. 19-20, m. 21-22, and continue to work like this until you have gone through measure 31
• count out loud to begin with
• be careful when you see finger numbers – that means you need to read the notes

Prelude in C Minor by Bach –

• continue learning 2 measures at a time using 3-10-3: Play the section 3 times in a row, then wait 10 seconds, and play it another 3 times, then move on to the next section and do the same
• don’t watch the patterns as you play them – get your eyes on the next change in the next hand
• go slowly
