Declan

Recommended minutes to practice: 10 min/day

What to practice: Harmonic & Melodic Minor scales C, F, Bb & Eb

How to practice it most effectively: Take a look at each of these scales this week, note that they are written out ascending, but try playing them descending as well.

How parents can support practice: Encourage Declan to continue picking up the bass and taking a look at his lesson materials.

Kiran

Recommended minutes to practice: 10 min/day

What to practice: Tuning the guitar

How to practice it most effectively: Try getting tuned up by playing a fretted note on one string, followed by the next open string. For E, A, and D, and B strings you’ll play the 5th fret. For the G string you’ll play the 4th fret.

How parents can support practice: Encourage Kiran to continue picking up the guitar and taking a look at his lesson materials.

Jayden

Recommended minutes to practice: 10 min/day

What to practice: 24 hours to go

How to practice it most effectively: Try holding the pick between your thumb and index fingers, be sure to “choke up” on the pick so you’re holding it near the bottom, and try playing “rest strokes” where you let the pick land/rest on the string below it (for downstrokes)

Have a good week everyone!
