What to practice: Birthday Party, Sandman’s Near, Heart and Soul, Theory pp. 33, 36
How to practice:
Heart and Soul- Review and keep up the swing rhythm
Birthday Party/Sandman’s Near- review line 2 of each piece and practice the whole piece at the speed that is comfortable for line 2 and when you get more comfortable, try faster
Birthday Party- play loud
Sandman’s Near- play soft
How parents can support practice:
Pieces: Listen to him practice, guide him to play slower if he plays notes for longer or stops, if he is playing well without stopping encourage him to try faster

See you next week :)
