Nova

Great work today Nova! Here is this week’s homework:

** Please remember to get Faber Level 1 Lesson book as soon as possible so you can practice this week!

Recommended minutes to practice: 15-20 per day

What to practice: Ode To Joy, Mozart’s Five Names, C Rock Blues, Theory book p. 25-26

How to practice:

– Ode to Joy: try hands together slowly, then pick up the speed once ready

– Mozart:

  •  practice lines 3 and 4; there is a big section of just half notes, and then the five quarter note theme repeated in different octaves. The first of those repetitions ends on a dotted half note to give you time to move your hand up to the higher octave. The second repetition ends on a whole note.
  • Use the last bar of line 2 to move left hand to the correct position for the start of line 3 (finger 3 on A).

– C Rock: Review. Be aware of fingering, note values, and articulation.

– Theory: P. 25 practice the notes in the exercise. Be aware of note values and which hand to use when. Use the clefs to help you. Complete the exercises on P. 26.

How parents can support practice: Listen and guide as needed

See you next week :)
