Nova
Great work Nova! Here is this week’s homework:
Recommended min to practice: 15-20 min per day
What to practice- Lil Liza Jane, Mozart (p. 23), C exercise (p. 22)
How to practice:
Lil Liza Jane- Review. Show the contrast between the mezzo piano part and the forte part. They sound different, so they should feel very different to play.
Mozart- Pay attention to fingering. Focus on lines 1 and 2. Once you are able to play at a comfortable tempo without stopping, start practicing lines 3 and 4.
C exercise- Pay attention to fingering. Add in the articulations- remember that staccato is very short, just a light tap to bring the key down for one second. Practice the staccato hand motion on the piano and on any surface to get used to the feeling.
How parents can support practice: Listen to them practice and guide as needed.
*Please bring your theory book next lesson. See you next week :)
