Gerardo:

The Girl from Ipanema:

Take the first part of your practice time to practice the B section’s last phrase with the chords (mm. 23-26). When you feel confident with that part, play the complete B section a few times. Since this is the most difficult part of the song, make sure you feel confident with it before trying the whole song.

Caedan:

Practice the Overworld Theme. It would help if you can hear the song a few times before playing it. That will strengthen your memory. Make sure to memorize the whole song.

Piano Adventures: Read Mozart’s Five Names. Remember that mm. 1-2 and 3-4 have the same notes in both hands (different octaves).

Work on your song. If you want to finish it, write a closure. If you decide that you want to make a second part, bring ideas next class.

Zoe:

Practice the A section of Little Piece (mm. 1- 16). Go slow, and count the beats at all times. Pay attention to the accidentals in the piece, and respect the phrasing lines.
