Henry
Great job today Henry! Here is your homework for this week:
How long to practice: 5-10 min a day
What to practice:
Theory workbook pgs. 32, 33, and 36
Stepping up Stepping Down- Review in all keys
Heart and Soul- Review
How to practice:
Theory- remember the placements of notes, e.g. C has its own line in the middle, D and B are in the “big space” above and below the top and bottom lines of treble and bass clef, E is the bottom first line of treble, G is the second, F is in the space between, etc. Check the little piano at the top of the page for reference.
Heart and Soul- Continue with the “swing” rhythm
Stepping up- Review and be mindful of steps, skips, and repeats in each key
How parents can support practice:
Playing- Continue to listen and provide guidance if he needs
Theory- Do not let him simply copy from the book; get him to try to figure out the exercises on his own first and only refer to the book as a “last resort” and to check accuracy at the end
See you next week! :)
