1. No need for close-loud in passages like m. 176 LH

2. Close-loud: don’t keep pushing down into the keys after the attack.

3. Slow-motion staccato notes: think of your position approach as if you were playing it at full-speed - how would you approach the notes?

4. Take advantage of slow-motion practice by keeping your tongue and body relaxed.

5. When increasing your speed by one m.m. at a time, you be the judge of whether or not you can skip one or two speeds as you increase. This depends on the difficulty of the section. Be creative and mindful of your method and use the tools as you need them.

6. If you make a mistake in slow work, go back at least a beat and enter the section again.

Practice Instructions: June 1st

1. BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING, have a goal in mind.

2. Don’t immediately use any slow-work or speed-building tools before you know why you’re using them. Do the following:

   1. Goal

      1. Define your goal: Performance Ready Playing, All Five Pieces:

      2. How do we get there?

      3. …Create your goal. How do we do that?

      4. …Understanding where you’re piece is at, choose a section you want to work (mm. 229-249 of Mendelssohn for example).

   2. Strategy: what needs to be done?

      1. Make a plan to achieve your goal (sections as described above). How do we do that?

      2. …Play through your section at performance speed (or it’s current max) three times, observing closely what is consistently good (aligns with your goal) and consistently off / bad (what doesn’t align with your goal).

      3. Make a plan to fix athe items, using the appropriate practice tools. How do you know which tools?

      4. …decide which tools will be best according to the type issues presented in the section.

      5. Write out your plan.

   3. Tactics: how do you get it done?

      1. Decide HOW to use the specific tools in your strategy, based on the current state of your section.

      2. Create an execution plan for each tool. For example:

         1. Close-loud: 5 times in-a-row correctly or three times correctly? Which is more appropriate?

         2. Sprints: at which tempo do you need to start? Slowly, faster than the final tempo, etc..

         3. Slow-motion practice: etc..

3. Speed-building

   1. 1. Mendelssohn (starting at m.m. 72, build one speed at a time).

      2. Handel: find final tempi for each variation and mark them in the score.

      3. Haydn: (final is m.m 132)

      4. Gershwin: (final is m.m. 92)

      5. Debussy: (m.m. 52 approx at 2nd page arpeggios).

         2. Sprints: at which tempo do you need to start? Slowly, faster than the final tempo, etc..

         3. Slow-motion practice: etc..

Practice Notes from May 25th Lesson:

1. No need for close-loud in passages like m. 176 LH

2. Close-loud: don’t keep pushing down into the keys after the attack.

3. Slow-motion staccato notes: think of your position approach as if you were playing it at full-speed - how would you approach the notes?

4. Take advantage of slow-motion practice by keeping your tongue and body relaxed.

5. When increasing your speed by one m.m. at a time, you be the judge of whether or not you can skip one or two speeds as you increase. This depends on the difficulty of the section. Be creative and mindful of your method and use the tools as you need them.

6. If you make a mistake in slow work, go back at least a beat and enter the section again.

Practice Instructions: June 1st

1. BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING, have a goal in mind.

2. Don’t immediately use any slow-work or speed-building tools before you know why you’re using them. Do the following:

   1. Goal

      1. Define your goal: Performance Ready Playing, All Five Pieces:

      2. How do we get there?

      3. …Create your goal. How do we do that?

      4. …Understanding where you’re piece is at, choose a section you want to work (mm. 229-249 of Mendelssohn for example).

   2. Strategy: what needs to be done?

      1. Make a plan to achieve your goal (sections as described above). How do we do that?

      2. …Play through your section at performance speed (or it’s current max) three times, observing closely what is consistently good (aligns with your goal) and consistently off / bad (what doesn’t align with your goal).

      3. Make a plan to fix athe items, using the appropriate practice tools. How do you know which tools?

      4. …decide which tools will be best according to the type issues presented in the section.

      5. Write out your plan.

   3. Tactics: how do you get it done?

      1. Decide HOW to use the specific tools in your strategy, based on the current state of your section.

      2. Create an execution plan for each tool. For example:

   1. M. 6 - dynamic shading

   2. M. 17.4 (and those alike) enter the ascending octave figure as if you’ve already been playing a beat of octaves in the same direction. Don’t prepare before you start this beat. When you finish the slur, don’t pop but don’t hold your position - just let go of the tension.

      1. practice the approach to feel secure on the entry

      2. Memorize how it feels to play the gesture in-context.

   3. Mm. 48-49 - secure LH notes so there are no ghosts. Fix the timing in the RH.

   4. M. 50 - no slower or faster than m.m. 60.

   5. M. 42 - don’t slow until the end of the measure to you can really enjoy the tenor in the LH. End of 45, alto should be dolce.

Practice Notes from May 25th Lesson:

1. No need for close-loud in passages like m. 176 LH

2. Close-loud: don’t keep pushing down into the keys after the attack.

3. Slow-motion staccato notes: think of your position approach as if you were playing it at full-speed - how would you approach the notes?

4. Take advantage of slow-motion practice by keeping your tongue and body relaxed.

5. When increasing your speed by one m.m. at a time, you be the judge of whether or not you can skip one or two speeds as you increase. This depends on the difficulty of the section. Be creative and mindful of your method and use the tools as you need them.

6. If you make a mistake in slow work, go back at least a beat and enter the section again.

Practice Instructions: June 1st

1. BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING, have a goal in mind.

2. Don’t immediately use any slow-work or speed-building tools before you know why you’re using them. Do the following:

   1. Goal

      1. Define your goal: Performance Ready Playing, All Five Pieces:

      2. How do we get there?

      3. …Create your goal. How do we do that?

      4. …Understanding where you’re piece is at, choose a section you want to work (mm. 229-249 of Mendelssohn for example).

   2. Strategy: what needs to be done?

      1. Make a plan to achieve your goal (sections as described above). How do we do that?

      2. …Play through your section at performance speed (or it’s current max) three times, observing closely what is consistently good (aligns with your goal) and consistently off / bad (what doesn’t align with your goal).

      3. Make a plan to fix athe items, using the appropriate practice tools. How do you know which tools?

      4. …decide which tools will be best according to the type issues presented in the section.

      5. Write out your plan.

   3. Tactics: how do you get it done?

      1. Decide HOW to use the specific tools in your strategy, based on the current state of your section.

      2. Create an execution plan for each tool. For example:

         1. Close-loud: 5 times in-a-row correctly or three times correctly? Which is more appropriate?

         2. Sprints: at which tempo do you need to start? Slowly, faster than the final tempo, etc..

         3. Slow-motion practice: etc..

   4. Troubleshooting:

      1. Know all of your tools:

      2. Tactical plans not working out? What do you to?

      3. …

3. Speed-building

   1. 1. Mendelssohn (starting at m.m. 72, build one speed at a time).

      2. Handel: find final tempi for each variation and mark them in the score.

      3. Haydn: (final is m.m 132)

      4. Gershwin: (final is m.m. 92)

      5. Debussy: (m.m. 52 approx at 2nd page arpeggios).

Practice Notes from May 25th Lesson:

1. No need for close-loud in passages like m. 176 LH

2. Close-loud: don’t keep pushing down into the keys after the attack.

3. Slow-motion staccato notes: think of your position approach as if you were playing it at full-speed - how would you approach the notes?

4. Take advantage of slow-motion practice by keeping your tongue and body relaxed.

5. When increasing your speed by one m.m. at a time, you be the judge of whether or not you can skip one or two speeds as you increase. This depends on the difficulty of the section. Be creative and mindful of your method and use the tools as you need them.

6. If you make a mistake in slow work, go back at least a beat and enter the section again.

Practice Instructions for this week

1. Run half program each weekday, and full program on Saturday and Sundays (or days in which you have have more than 2 hours to practice).

2. Do “performance-practice” on each piece for 1 hour on weekdays and more on the weekends, rotating each of your five pieces until you’ve done all of them - then restart the rotation.

   1. Choose your chunk (4-16) (as the weeks progress, your chunks should get bigger).

   2. Slow work (you decide what KIND of slow work depending on the content).

      1. Close loud (HA, HT)

         1. Not too slow. But just be able to relax after each attack. No faster than m.m. 120.

      2. Staccato (HA, HT)

         1. Slow down with this so you can throw more and have more balance on each attack.

      3. High loud (only use when you have real technical issues) (THREE PARTS)

      4. Slow-motion practice (repeated, three times in-a-row correctly.

      5. Rhythms, accent practice, sprints, etc.

         1. Sprints: When you pause, think about the position you’re going to next and RELAX your hand / body. During the fast moments, exert more energy.

         2. Rhythms: (See “sprints”)

   3. Speed-building

      1. Mendelssohn (starting at m.m. 72, build one speed at a time).

      2. Handel: find final tempi for each variation and mark them in the score.

      2. Memorize how it feels to play the gesture in-context.

   3. Mm. 48-49 - secure LH notes so there are no ghosts. Fix the timing in the RH.

ROMANTIC

1. R💚💚Mendelssohn, Concerto in D Minor (finish by May 1st).

   1. mm. 33-40 - “less prepare” “pretend fingers are skipping stones to the downbeat” No staccato on the last note. Feel the downbeat and get softer toward the end.

   2. Page 33 - write in phrase marks for this page and prepare up to tempo with carefully thought out expression.

   3. Go to the end and learn this section next.

2. R💚💚Rachmaninoff, Prelude op. 23 no. 5 in G minor

   1. M. 6 - dynamic shading

   2. M. 17.4 (and those alike) enter the ascending octave figure as if you’ve already been playing a beat of octaves in the same direction. Don’t prepare before you start this beat. When you finish the slur, don’t pop but don’t hold your position - just let go of the tension.

      1. practice the approach to feel secure on the entry

      2. Memorize how it feels to play the gesture in-context.

   3. Mm. 48-49 - secure LH notes so there are no ghosts. Fix the timing in the RH.

   4. M. 50 - no slower or faster than m.m. 60.

   5. M. 42 - don’t slow until the end of the measure to you can really enjoy the tenor in the LH. End of 45, alto should be dolce.

   6. Mm. 46-47 - clean up so we can work on the flow.
