Lesson 16/16, Marina Rocha ℗

Really beautiful work!

Minuet: remember character of minuet; most on beat 1; least on beatts 2-3,. Make sure to please detach second last bars. Nice dynamic changes in B and repeat!

Bluestone: refresh HS! also work on slightly slower- both seem a bit frenetic for what we are trying to present. Think about how speed of a piece affects the listener.

Try to work on tricky sps slowly first, NY actually looking at the parts and notes. It's easy to hope for the best, but often times we”practice in” mistakes which are more difficult to smoothen in the long run of we don't address then right away. You sound great! (Patience is our friend!)

Arabesque- great speed at end!!! Try to play the entire piece at this amazing, steady pace. Clear accents!

Lesson 14/16 Marina Rocha ℗

Beautiful job on Moonlight as always. Please think of tempo and character, and what makes something sounds happy or sad. Experiment with playing much slower to achieve the desired effect.

Please choose something from the links I sent and have them printed for next time, so that we may stay something new! Looking forward!!!

Lesson 13/16: Marina Rocha ℗

(Confirming the change to 4p Fridays, for at least the next month)

Great job, Marina- think about similar details regarding character and what to bring out, especially reflecting the pieces you are working on. (Lunar Eclipse; Moonlight arr)

Try to memorize as you go; play this for your grandmother! I'm sure she would love this!

Lesson 8/16, Marina Rocha ℗

AMAZING job working out “Moonlight” on your own!!! You sound great. Strive for smoothness and anticipate chord changes when it changes per-beat, around p4.

Remember last arp, 8va and RH chord placement.

Sounds beautiful!!! Start in the middle so you become more familiar with the latter half.

Lesson 11 of 16

Nice start on Hark!

(Javier, pls send a higher-res file of this music, is it is illegible when opening. Please print out for M- than you!)

Marina- first section soundss great!!! Please practice a hair shower, to help you remember ahead. Try not to stop/have sudden gaps- try to be as smooth and continuous as possible.

I'll help you w next setting next time!! Hope you have a good week.
