Songs:
Next week there will be a test on German dance in D major and Song of the dark woods. Things to look out for are the starred sections. The places where you felt needed improvement. Transitions are also a place to really work on. Consider playing the last measure of one system with the 1st measure of another. You can also look out for the dynamic markings that are required in each piece. You will also continue to work on the snake. This week you can work on hands together. Playing it very slowly to begin. You also have a couple of new pieces. Young Ludwig exploring, Canon and Climb up on an Elephant
Technique:
This week play through C, D, E, F, G major with hands together. Take your time and be sure to keep the scale even in tempo.
How parents can help: Encourage your child to have a daily practice routine and ensure that they are filling out their homework logs correctly. In addition to the online homework posts, I recommend that each student keep and maintain a homework journal where they can fill in how long they practice and what they worked on that week. You can decorate it to make it fun!
