Hi Everyone,
Here are your assignments for this week:
Hugo
Recommended minutes to practice: 15-30 min/day
What to practice: Repertoire + Triads
How to practice it most effectively: Try picking songs you know and recording them on your phone. While this is a good way to listen back with critical ears it’s also a good opportunity to get used to performing all the way through from beginning to end without stopping. For triads, go through different keys with the circle of fourths (C, F, Bb, etc).
Tresa
Recommended minutes to practice: 10-20 min/day
What to practice: Strumming Once per beat
How to practice it most effectively: Take the songs you’re working on and try strumming down to an even beat. Don’t worry about strumming patterns for now and just play until the next chord comes in (ex 2 strums, 4 strums).
Maurya
Recommended minutes to practice: 15-30 min/day
What to practice: Songs From Rock Band and Write A Short Song
How to practice it most effectively: Use a metronome for the rock band stuff. For the B section to Kashmir don’t worry about the metronome at first just work on getting the notes.
How parents can support practice: Encourage Maurya to continue picking up the guitar.
Have a good week everyone!
