Hi Everyone,
Here are your assignments for this week:

How to practice it most effectively: Go through your notes and rhythms, listen to the song and aim to play the timing the way you hear it.
How parents can support practice: Encouraging Jack to pick up the instrument and play through his song of the week is a great way to support practice.
Hythem
Recommended minutes to practice: 10 min/day

How to practice it most effectively: Go through your notes and check with your page for how many times to play each. Review what we looked at last class and the new part we added today.
How parents can support practice: Encouraging Hythem to pick up the guitar and spend time on his lesson material is a great way to support practice.
Maurya
Recommended minutes to practice: 30 min/day
What to practice: Guitar Solo #2 + Listening for major and minor chords.
How to practice it most effectively: Look at the “tapping” section we reviewed in class today, check for where you switch to your right hand to “tap” the notes marked RH. Play through the major and minor chords you know on guitar and as you’re listen to music think about whether a chord might be major or minor and what it sounds like.
How parents can support practice: Encouraging Maurya to spend time on the guitar is a great way to support practice.
Aria
Recommended minutes to practice: 5 min/day
What to practice: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ***Bonus, start checking out your music notes on the staff and how to play them on guitar.
How to practice it most effectively: Play through your notes, remember the last note of each section is a long one, hold this one for 2 counts, the others are short and held for 1 count.
How parents can support practice: Encouraging Aria to spend a bit of time on the guitar each day is a great way to support practice.
Have a good week everyone!
Trevor
