Nova
Great work today Nova! Here is this week’s homework:
Recommended minutes to practice: 15-20 per day
What to practice: The Juggler, C scale, Ode To Joy
How to practice:
The Juggler- distinguish between staccato and legato sections. Your staccato is improving- keep up the good work! Remember that the “Bingo was his name-o” theme repeats itself a few times. Pay attention to when right hand responds to left hand with the C and E and when it is silent- at the end of the staccato section it is a rest so do not play.
C scale- two octaves, right hand and left hand separate. Changes happen either with the thumb going under the finger or the finger going over the thumb. The finger alternates between 3 and 4; left hand is the inverted version of right hand (meaning the fingering for left hand going up is the same as the fingering for right hand going down, and vice versa).
Ode to Joy- Review dynamics, will play next week.
How parents can support practice- listen and guide as needed.
See you next week :)
