💚Musette in D Major BWV Anh. 126 by J. S. Bach

  1. Let’s make a plan with your NFPER charts next week.

*💚“RCM Technical Requirements Level 03”

  1. Prepare D Major, B Minor harmonic and melodic Scales & Triads (broken and solid)

    1. No faster than mm. 50.

    2. Practice the difficult items at a SLOW tempo, and with good thought - where is finger four? Hands alone first. SLOWLY.

    3. Hey, also practice SLOWLY.

    4. Did you know that you can play SLOWLY?

    5. SLOW is cool.

💚“SIGHT-READING 2A

  1. Prepare at least pages 73-76

  2. GO NO FASTER THAN M.M. 60 PER QUARTER NOTE

*💚FOUR STAR Level 3

  1. Prepare Set 1

💚Theory Level 2

  1. Complete Unit 7, pages 64-67

*💚Minuet in G Minor BWV Anh. 115 by Christian Petzold

  1. Learn four measures at a time, using NFPER. Keep track in your music by crossing off the acronym for each chunk.

  2. The one thing to really try to remember: PLAY SLOWLY

  3. Cantabile = in a singing style
