Hello Everyone!
Berke:
When warming up this week please review your C Major, A Natural Minor, and A Harmonic minor scales (two octaves) hands separately. Please also practice the C Major and G Major triads both broken and solid, one octave each. When playing the triads, use your 1st, 3rd, and 5th fingers to ensure effective and comfortable technique. You can find the technical requirements here. When practicing the Andante this week please ensure you are reviewing the two hands in tempo. This does not need to be a quick tempo, but you should tap your foot or use a metronome to help make the beat clear. You could also count out loud to help you hear how the eighth notes line up with the macro beat. When practicing playing the B section hands together, do so in small chunks, starting at the end of the last phrase and working backwards from there. When you feel comfortable playing the last two bars hands together, try the previous two bars. Practice playing just those two bars before adding on the last two bars. Repeat this process. When practicing hands together pay close attention to the fingerings to help guide your hands through the phrase.
Thank you!
Happy Practicing!
