2017-2018 Lesson 19: Marina Rocha

 Czerny Op. 777 No. 22

HT - steady beat

Points to focus on: 

1. Articulation - staccato, legato, accents. 

2. LH is always softer than the RH

 Clementi Sonatina Op.36 No. 1

(Op. stands for Opus. An opus is a work of a composer)

Great work!!! Keep practcing HT with the eighth notes long short, and remember the rests! Be precise! 

 Bach Musette

Sounds beautiful! Well done!

Please practice few times by singing the RH while you’re playing - as we did together. Use Ti - Ta or Ki - Ka 

Burgmuller L’arabeske 

Sounds better and better! Good work!

Remember to: 

1. Before you start think and silently sing (Apple with mangO ) - put the accent on the O

2. When you have crescendo refrain from rushing - held back instead!
