Dear students,
Great work today! Here is this week’s homework:
Nova
Recommended minutes to practice: 15-20 per day
What to practice: Juggler, Matchmaker, Ruler of my Heart, C broken triad hands separate
How to practice:
-Juggler/Ruler of my heart- review
-Matchmaker- Emphasize beat 1 of the three beats, staccato with a slur is still a stacatto just not as short as staccato without a slur, a lot of the bars repeat the notes but change the dynamics. Posted in google drive
– triads- play fingers 1,3,5; except right hand first inversion 1,2,5 and left hand second inversion 1,2,5
How parents can support practice- listen and guide as needed
Maya
Recommended minutes to practice: 5-10 per day
What to practice: Gallop Away, The Rainbow
How to practice:
Gallop Away- the E in line 2 is one beat, no overlapping; do not rush second last bar. The D is Beats 1 and 2; the B is beat 3. Practice with metronome.
The Rainbow- good reading! Right hand is the top line, left hand is the bottom line; they are the same except upside down. Remember note reading in left hand- middle C has its own special line, A is on the top line. Make sure there is connection between all notes; no stopping between lines. Once one note is done, the next note follows.
How parents can support practice: Listen and guide as needed. Help her practice the songs with the metronome.
See you next week :)
