Happy Saturday Everyone!
Berke:
Please continue to warm up with both the G Major and D Major scale, playing them both hands together. Today we did some sight reading! I’ve uploaded a few more sight reading sheets to the google drive for Berke to warm up with. These exercises test how well Berke can read the notes on the staff. Please have him read “sight reading sheets 1, 2, and 3” when practicing this week. Remember, the goal of sight reading is to play the phrase from start to finish as accurately as possible. Have Berke play through these no more than 3 times, even if they’re not perfect. We will review them in class together next week. We also reviewed Mozart’s Minuet, playing hands together from measures 3-6. When practicing this piece, Berke can review both the right and and the left hand separately before practicing measures 3-6 hands together. For this week he is to slowly add on measures 2 and 7, playing both hands together. Isolate these measures, play them on their own to practice until confident then play measures 2-7 all together. You can find the sight reading pages here.
Great lesson today! I’m excited to see your progress next week!
