Thursday February 23 Lessons – Erin P

Happy snow day! Have fun and stay safe out there <3 Liam Star Wars - Awesome progress! Wow! Points to remember are: bring the accented notes out more, play the B section a bit more mellow and smoother to give contrast, keep working on the pedal, for the final LH repeated notes experiment with using multiple fingers to play them fast [...]

February 22nd

Gerardo: "The Girl from Ipanema": First, take your time to practice the chord changes only with your left hand. Then, practice the B section with both hands at a slow tempo.
