Maya
Great work Maya! Here’s this week’s homework:
Recommended minutes to practice: 10-15 minutes per day
What to practice: Autumn Song, Hiking
How to practice:
Autumn Song- review rhythm in third bar so that it is done correctly. 4 straight quarters followed by two halves. Repeat correctly until fingers learn it.
Hiking- notes in third bar, both lines. F is only played in the first bar, not the third bar. Practice the C-D-E-D in the third bar. Fingering is like this: 1-2-3-2
How parents can support practice: Supervise practicing, make sure she repeats the rhythm in Autumn and notes in Hiking correctly. If she reverts back to the original way, she has to start again. Make sure she unlearns the mistakes, which is sometimes harder than learning a brand new piece.
