Lesson Notes - August 29, 2026

Welcome back from camp!

Repertoire Status

George Gershwin: Three Preludes, No. 1

Status: notes learned through m. 46. Secure to roughly m. 28; everything past that is still new.
m. 40 left hand: no F-sharp in the chord.
m. 41 right hand (Assignment): Place the 3rd finger high on the F. This improves access to the B-flat and facilitates the down-up motion.
m. 43 (Assignment): Experiment with fingering (4-3, 2-3-1-2-3-1-2, or 2-3 into 1-2-3-4-5). Lift before the downbeat to emphasize the accent.
mm. 46-49 (Assignment): Practice chord progression (D major, C minor, A minor, C).

Right hand: say each chord name OUT LOUD before playing (5x correctly).
Left hand: bass notes only (5x correctly).
Hands together: outer parts only (5x correctly).
Inner voices: practice the "guts" of the chords.

Goal: mm. 46-49 hands together, no pauses, as one four-measure group.
m. 61 (Assignment): Learn A-flat major scale starting on D-flat. Fingering: 4-3-2-1-3 / 2-3-4-1.

Second theme - you’re rushing slightly. Keep the tempo and dynamic pulled back.
🟥mm. 31-34 and its repetition: please exaggerate the slowdown and expressive explosion! Please catch the LH in the pedal!
Practice SLOW-MO☮️ (gyork-mo) with arching / rainbow arms (don’t prepare then play) and strong big sound.

🟨Debussy: Clair de Lune:

🟥Print the latest version of your music in Newzik.
mm. 19-25: LH Starts on the dominant and ascends through the D-flat major scale with one chromatic A-natural. Memorize this to help keep memory in tact.
m. 15-18: careful to take more time at the ends of phrases. You’re rushing this a bit.
Do hands alone then together practice on one page per day. Do this with and without music. You may even need to do this one phrase at a time in the beginning.
🟥Last measure of the piece: gradually come of the keyboard with hands and foot so we don’t suddenly hear the sound stop.

m. 33 - “arrive” by taking some time on the arrival. Pedal as written.

Most of the time, your 16th notes should be very soft puuhlease!
LH mm. 42-43 - switch to a stable fingering sooner rather than later…
mm. 51-58 - longer pedal changes

🟩Burgmüller: The Storm

🟩Gershwin Prelude No. 3

RH triplets - drop the wrist to help the articulation of the sound.
Sound: even though this is primarily loud, find the dimension within the forte dynamic - where can you find softer textures?
💚Send me a video of mm. 29-36 hands together at one tepmo (correct rhythm too) but can be as slow as needed.

🟪Debussy: Clair de Lune:

tmm. 27-37: gradually speed-build to m.m 54 from m.m. 44 - one notch at a time. One measure at a time.
m. 41: forte
m. 45: tie on the downbeat
💛mm. 51-58: GAC practice?
