Hi Everyone,

Here are your assignments for this week:

Declan

Recommended minutes to practice: 15 min/day

What to practice: Playing with a metronome

How to practice it most effectively: Download a “metronome app”, try playing along to a click at different tempos (speeds), remember to subdivide (imagine twice as many clicks in your head, or better yet quadruple)

How parents can support practice: Encourage Declan to continue picking up the instument for a few minutes each day.

Griffin

Recommended minutes to practice: 15 min/day

What to practice: Intervals within an Octave

How to practice it most effectively: Play through your intervals within an octave on guitar (Mi2, Ma2, Mi3, Ma3, P4, TT, P5, Mi6, Ma6) Try these on different “string sets” (combination of two strings, ex, E + A, D + G etc.

How parents can support practice: Encourage Griffin to continue picking up the guitar for a few minutes each day.

Jayden

Recommended minutes to practice: 10 min / day

What to practice: Highway To Hell

How to practice it most effectively: Try playing “Highway to Hell” with your fingers (no pick), for playing two notes at once. Remember, the number is for the fret you play, and it’s written on the string you play (E, A, D, G, B, or E). Start with the first line, which we covered in class, and start checking out the second line if you like!

How parents can support practice: Encourage Jayden to pick up the guitar for a few minutes each day.

Have a good week everyone!
