How parents can help:

Encourage your child to have a daily practice routine and ensure that they are filling out their homework logs correctly. In addition to the online homework posts, I recommend that each student keep and maintain a homework journal where they can fill in how long they practice and what they worked on that week. You can decorate it to make it fun!

Danny

Recommended daily practice time is 15-20 minutes per day

Homework:

Good work Danny. This week we looked at Swirling leaves. When you play this be sure to keep a steady beat by playing all of the quarter notes equally. Also make sure that you play a softer dynamic to avoid always playing loudly. Keep your wrists even not bouncing. We also looked at Aria in F Major. Play this hands apart and count out loud. Another important thing to remember is to use the finger numbers suggested to make it easier to move across the piano. We also begun red satin Jazz, please fill in the counting as there are a lot of interesting rhythms in this piece.
