🎹❤️Gavotte French suite no. 5 in G Major by J. S. Bach

  1. RECITAL PRACTICE EVERY DAY

    1. SLOW PRACTICE:

      1. LH alone, RH alone, HT, THREE TIMES EACH, EACH DAY.

      2. No faster than m.m. 80 per 8th note

      3. One system / line at a time.

      4. Fingering and notes

      5. Remember to play strong into the keys for muscle memory practice

    2. MEDIUM PRACTICE:

      1. Hands together In two sections:

        1. measures. 1-12, and 12 to the end.

    3. FINAL TEMPO PRACTICE:

      1. Entire piece through at m.m. 100, 104 and 108

      2. Practice starting from 3 random measures each practice session
