Great work this week, everyone, and nice to meet those of you who are new to me! Please find your homework suggestions below, along with recommended practice times.
Tannaz
Here is a folder with a summary doc of some of the concepts we talked about during our lesson, as well as a note-naming worksheet. No pressure to do all of it–just whatever you have time for/feel you could benefit from.

In the meantime, I will search for some easy versions of the songs we discussed.
Recommended practice time: 15mins a day
Marco
Ode to Joy – practice this one this week, remembering that the LH plays first
Finish up pg 15 of theory
Recommended practice time: 5-10 mins a day
Oliver
Money Can’t Buy Everything – keep working on the RH of this piece. Try to keep your eyes on the page and follow along!
Recommended practice time: 5-10 mins a day
Alice
-Keep working on our breathing/candle exercise (your current record is 24 seconds!) and the 1, 1-2-1, etc. warmup
-Kill em with Kindness – continue to practice with the karaoke track
-Part of your world – listen to some performances of it this week (broadway or movie, you can find a bunch on Youtube). Think about what you notice the singers doing!
-Piano: C D E F G March from your lesson book. Remember that your fingers are OPPOSITES on your hands, so even though C is always at the bottom, on your RH you play finger 1 first and your LH is finger 5 first
Linda
-Trout/Die Forelle: work on playing even 8th notes
-Finale: remember that the slur is different from tied notes (bar 10, + others similar)
-Arietta: try out the RH, slow and steady
-Sherlock Holmes: listen to a performance of it on Youtube to get it in your ear
Amazing work, folks! See you next time :)
