Assignments
💚THEORY: Unit 5: Rhythm
Prepare pages 50 and 51 that are in your white binder.
💚RHYTHM: Basic Rhyhmic Training
Please prepare number 8 (clap the beat and tah the rhythm). Notice the “time signature!”
💚The Juggler by Nancy and Randall Faber (Prep, A)
See the video for measures 13-End. Do this at least three times this week.
Practice measures 9-12 with metronome marking 50 at the table, then at the keyboard.
Review measures 1-8 with the music.
💚SIGHTREADING_00_06-25_C_F_G (in Newzik)
Please prepare pages 7-9 (one “day” per practice session).
First thing we do is study the rhythm.
Then study the notes.
Then play!
💜Musical Alphabet: Forward and backward by skips / 3rds
Practice speaking letter names forward and backward now with a steady beat. Metronome marking 60 per letter name is a good tempo (A, B, C, D, E, F & G)
💚Czerny, Op 825 No. 1: Complete Etude
Review with your music and round fingers / relaxed wrist, once a day!
💜A Skating Waltz (new piece next week!)
⚫️Sleigh Bells by Christine Donkin (Prep A)
Pause
NOTES: Say the letter names and direction of the notes out loud correctly.
FINGERING: Say and play the finger numbers (this step was difficult today but better on the second try)
POSITION: Focus on good position three times correctly. Keep eyes on the music.
EXPRESSION: Focus on the slur (smooth and connected). Lift your wrist at the end of the slur.
RHYTHM: Set the metronome to 52 → count four beats before you start → play with the metronome!
🖤READING: L&M Unit 3
Page 1: Deep Blue Sea
Pressing the media button, select “Deep Blue Sea Your Part.” Practice with this until you can play with it exactly as it sounds.
It might not be correct after three tries so just do three in one day and be ok with that - try again the next day.
Remember to keep going if you make a mistake.
Once the above is correct, select the “Deep Blue Sea Accompaniment.”
Do the same as above.
