Hello! We had a very productive class today!
Berke:
We reviewed the C Major and D Major scales. For this week please practice with a metronome. This is available online for free via google. For the D Major scale please practice these hands separately at 75BPM (75 beats per minute). We also reviewed the C Major scale and tried playing it hands together today. Continue to practice the C Major scale playing both hands together at home slowly. Use the metronome and play at 60BPM. We also discussed intervals, triads, and chords. I’ve sent Berke home with a sheet with information on intervals and triads, this will also be uploaded to the google drive in Berke’s file for reference if need be. Practice playing all 8 intervals on the piano with both hands. Berke can also continue to practice the C Major chord “broken” (all three notes played individually) and “whole” (all 3 notes played at the same time). Finally, Berke has expressed interest in learning Mozart’s Turkish Waltz. I think this is a great goal to work towards. Please check online if there is sheet music available to download or purchase online and I will do the same so we can work on it next week.
Great lesson today! Happy practicing!
