Hello!
Berke:
You can choose to either video record Minuet in F Major at home and upload the recording to the google drive for me to submit. Or we can wait until next class to record together. For this week, when practicing Moonlight Sonata, focus specifically on bars 7-11. Please practice this section hands separately to start. Remember that this phrase moves in octaves in the left hand! Please sight-read the right hand of this phrase on your own; its very similar to bars 5 and 6, but pay close attention to where the triad changes. You can practice bars 5-11 hands together when you feel confident with the phrase in both hands. You also have a new song from this week – Clair de Lune! Please review the first 3 bars of this piece only. Pay close attention to the fingering markings and be sure to practice playing that 1/3 – 2/4 motion of the fingers in the right hand. When you feel comfortable with this technique, you can add in the left hand. I’ve also uploaded “Lost” for you to sight-read. You can use this as a warm up. Play this piece hands separately, we will revisit this song next week. You can find Clair de Lune and Lost here.
I’m looking forward to seeing your performance video! Happy Practicing!
