💚Ear Training (only at the lesson for now)

  1. Ear training is learning how to recognize tones and movement from one tone to another just by listening - no looking at music.

  2. Today, we learned how to identify intervals of 2nd and 3rd going up or down.

  3. And “Interval” is the distance between two notes (for example C to D is a 2nd).

💚Flats and Sharps: 👍

  1. Practice playing random flats and sharps on the keyboard for 30 seconds each day.

💚Musical Alphabet: Forward and backward

  1. Practice speaking the letter names forward and backward by 2nds (steps) and 3rds (skips).

⚫️Sleigh Bells by Christine Donkin (Prep A)

  1. Pause

NOTES: Say the letter names and direction of the notes out loud correctly.

  1. FINGERING: Say and play the finger numbers (this step was difficult today but better on the second try)

  2. POSITION: Focus on good position three times correctly. Keep eyes on the music.

  3. EXPRESSION: Focus on the slur (smooth and connected). Lift your wrist at the end of the slur.

  4. RHYTHM: Set the metronome to 52 → count four beats before you start → play with the metronome!








🖤READING: L&M Unit 3

  1. Page 1: Deep Blue Sea

    1. Pressing the media button, select “Deep Blue Sea Your Part.” Practice with this until you can play with it exactly as it sounds.

      1. 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.

      2. Remember to keep going if you make a mistake.

    2. Once the above is correct, select the “Deep Blue Sea Accompaniment.”

      1. Do the same as above.
