Sonatina Op 36 No 1 3rd mvt
- Decide which measures are “red” (needs a lot of work), “yellow” (needs some work), and “green” (needs minimal work or none)
- From the red measure, break up into segments of 4 measures or less
- Place up to 3 of those segments in the first blue boxes of the Passages column
- Choose from the remaining red or yellow measures, break up into 4 measure segments, and place those in the next set of colored boxes.
- On Day 1, check off each box in that column once you practice it (try doing the 3-10-3 method below). Do the same for the next two days.
- Day 4, you don’t practice any blue boxes, and start passages from another piece or from remaining red or yellow measures
- On blank days, you don’t play those passages. You can play other measures from the piece if you like, but don’t play the passages
3-10-3 Method
- Pick a very short passage to play: only 3-5 notes or items
- Play that passage slowly – pick a tempo you can do it without a mistake. Do this 3 times
- Wait 10 seconds
- Play the same passage 3 times under tempo without mistakes
- If your passage was short enough, it should be easy to do in roughly 30 seconds total
