Hi Everyone,
Here are your assignments for this week:
Ella
Recommended minutes to practice: 10 min/day
What to practice: Hot Crosses Buns + Welcome To The Black Parade
How to practice it most effectively: Check your notes for tips and techniques for playing the guitar (arched fingers, etc.)
How parents can support practice: Getting set up with either an acoustic or electric guitar will be good for Ella to practice with – Long & Mcquade should have some options for starter guitars for either rent or purchase. A full size guitar should be fine but you can try a small size as well and see if one or the other is more comfortable.
Jayden
Recommended minutes to practice: 10 min/day
What to practice: #4, 5, 6 in Hal Leonard Book
How to practice it most effectively: Try “looping” (Take the first bar of music and play it repeatedly) and play the notes evenly, like the ticking of a clock – you can start by saying “tick tock” to remember what this sounds like.
How parents can support practice: Encourage Jayden to pick up the guitar for a few minutes each day and take a look at his lesson materials.
Have a good week!
