Henry

Awesome job today Henry! Here is this week’s homework:

Duration of practice: 5-10 min per day

What to practice: Rain on The Roof, Only Love Can Break Your Heart

How to practice:

Rain on The Roof

-Use a metronome to help keep a steady beat. Know when to play shorter notes and when to play longer notes- and how long/short they should be.

-Keep fingers on their respective keys! Each note name is played by the same finger, so no need to move fingers. For this piece, both thumbs are in middle C.

-Pay attention to when there are steps, when there are skips, and which direction the notes are going (up or down).

Only Love Can Break Your Heart

-Amazing progress!! Keep practicing :))

How parents can support practice:

-Keep guiding him

-If he is struggling with a section, remind him to isolate that section and work on it until he is able to play it correctly at least three times before connecting it with the rest of the piece

-Remind him to use the metronome

See you next week :)
