Set Exercises:

Please Review Set 3: pages 18, 19 Day 1, 2, 3, 4 (Not 5) - We’ll do Day 5 together at our next lesson.

Performance Class Pieces:  

Bach Musette  

Sounds good! Remember to release the A of the RH in measures 1, 2, 5, 6,  

Breathing between phrases - for example between measures 8-9. 

Burgmuller  

Excellent job! Few points: 

1. Before you begin think of the 16th notes so your chords are long enough.  

2. Dynamics - remember the sf note and that immediately after there’s piano.  

3. The last chord of the piece a bit later.  

Clementi Sonatina Op.36 No. 1 

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

Great work!!! HT the whole page. Fingerings, steady pulse.

Czerny Op. 777 No. 22

HS  

1. LH block chords - fingerings.  

2. RH - fingerings and articulation.  

For the following lesson please prepare all the above.
