Lessons

Work through Unit 3:

  • use 3-10-3
  • count out loud as you play, from the very first time

3-10-3 Method

1. Choose a short segment to work on of 3-5 notes
2. Play that segment 3 times in a row. If you make a mistake, you start over until you have 3 correct plays in a row
3. Break for about 10 seconds
4. Play the segment again 3 times in a row
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until the entire piece is learned. You may play through it start to finish after that and on subsequent days
