Lucas

How many minutes to practice: 15-30

What to practice: Over break I want you to write in all of the counts for the rest of the Lesson 6 reading and also work on the beats. If you feel like going on try Lesson 7!

How to practice effectively: Good work with the 16th notes in Lesson 6 so far, just keep going with writing in the counts for the rest of the Reading and then try playing and counting. For the beats playing slowly and counting is still the way to go.

Great work this fall Lucas, have a great holiday season and a Merry Christmas!!

 

Jonah

How many minutes to practice: 30

What to practice: This week Jonah I want you to finish writing in all of the counts for the accents on the Peters IV accent exercise and work on High Hopes by Panic! at The Disco. Here is a link to the song.

How to practice effectively: I would like you to finish writing in the counts for the Peters IV accent exercise, so just continue to go through the page and write in all of the counts above the accents. Then next week we’ll run through the whole thing. In addition we’ll keep working on High Hopes.

I’ll be posting the transcription for High Hopes at some point so keep an eye out. Other than that have a Merry Christmas Jonah! Thanks for such a great fall!

 

Samson

How many minutes to practice: 15-30

What to practice: This week Samson I want you to work on Todd Rundgren’s It Wouldn’t Have Made Any Difference. Here is the UPDATED TRANSCRIPTION.

How to practice effectively: Good job with the song! Just make your practice consistent and remember to go slowly and count things out as much as you can to get it accurate at a slow tempo!

Great job man, and if I don’t see you before the break, have a very Merry Christmas! Thanks for such a great fall semester!!
