🟩Chopin, Nocturne in C-sharp Minor, op. posth

Learn and memorize mm. 5-14 hands alone, then reach out to me and let me know when you’re done!
Trill Practice:
- Alone, slow to fast (max) back to slow again.
- Then add simple LH notes with the trill
- Then simple LH patterns.
- Then the actual LH notes (remember you don’t need to keep a steady beat during this process).
- THINK OF THIS AS A MEDITATION.
LH Learning:
- Learn by line / horizontally.
- Memorize the LH before you add the RH.

🟪Choose an upbeat piece from your list next time.

💚“Unpopular”

How to Train your Dragon?
Project Hail Mary?
Start to think of some options for popular pieces to transcribe

💚Traditional

Listen to your playlist and mark as many options as you like. Don’t listen to the difficulty level - just think about what you like or what sounds interesting.
Choose from the jazzy lists as well as the Romantic ones. We’ll start with those pieces.
Challenges: voicing, technical advancement.
September through December will be busy - applications for school, etc. Devote more time to Trad. repertoire post-December.

🎨 Color-Focus Practice (NFPER)

At the top of your music, write NFPER using the following color system:

N – Notes – correct pitches and accidentals (🟦 Blue)
F – Fingering – consistent, effective finger choices (🟧 Orange)
P – Position – hand shape, posture, and keyboard geography (🟪 Purple)
E – Expression – phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, etc. (🟩 Green)
R – Rhythm – steady pulse, accurate timing, and rests (🟥 Red)

✅ If you're only recording audio, just use NER.

Step-by-Step Practice Flow

Identify a section to record
Record your section once — video is best, but audio is fine too.
Listen back with one color/goal in mind.
As you listen, mark your music using that color anywhere it needs improvement.
Repeat for each remaining color, one at a time, until all five have been addressed.
Choose a small “spot” section from your markings to fix.

“Spot” until it’s solid — meaning:

✅ 3 times in a row correctly, or
✅ 5 total correct repetitions, then move on.

Focus on one or two colors at a time while practicing that spot.
Use the troubleshooting checklist below if you're stuck.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

Do you need to slow down?
Should you practice hands alone?
Could you make the spot even smaller?
Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?
Do you need to think ahead more clearly?
Do you need blocking practice?

Review once a week with your music at a medium tempo.

💚Haunted House, by Holly Humberstone
1. Fix red pen and continue to practice. Revise the MuseScore file.
💜“Reflection” from Mulan
1. 💚GROUP CLASS: Performance ready to downbeat of m. 11
2. m. 14 - fix fingering
3. m. 15 - F-flat in the LH
4. m. 13 - downbeat, play bottom note in RH
5. m. 11 - practice correct rhythm
6. mm. 16-19 - work out so you can play smoothly
7. mm. 14-19 - one tempo for next Thursday.
💛Debussy, Rêverie (look at these comments below in December)
1. From m. 12 - pauses begin. Minimal pauses from mm. 12-35. If you can do more, please do!

RH top voice alone - memorize with and without music multiple times.
LH and RH top voice together - memorize with and without music multiple times.
RH bottom two notes of the chord - memorize with and without music multiple times.
LH and RH bottom two voices together - memorize with and without music multiple times.
RH all together - memorize with and without music multiple times.
RH & LH together - memorize with and without music multiple times.

🎨 Color-Focus Practice (NFPER)

At the top of your music, write NFPER using the following color system:

N – Notes – correct pitches and accidentals (🟦 Blue)
F – Fingering – consistent, effective finger choices (🟧 Orange)
P – Position – hand shape, posture, and keyboard geography (🟪 Purple)
E – Expression – phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, etc. (🟩 Green)
R – Rhythm – steady pulse, accurate timing, and rests (🟥 Red)

✅ If you're only recording audio, just use NER.

Step-by-Step Practice Flow

Identify a section to record
Record your section once — video is best, but audio is fine too.
Listen back with one color/goal in mind.
As you listen, mark your music using that color anywhere it needs improvement.
Repeat for each remaining color, one at a time, until all five have been addressed.
Choose a small “spot” section from your markings to fix.

“Spot” until it’s solid — meaning:

✅ 3 times in a row correctly, or
✅ 5 total correct repetitions, then move on.

Focus on one or two colors at a time while practicing that spot.
Use the troubleshooting checklist below if you're stuck.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

Do you need to slow down?
Should you practice hands alone?
Could you make the spot even smaller?
Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?
Do you need to think ahead more clearly?
Do you need blocking practice?

🎨 Color-Focus Practice (NFPER)

At the top of your music, write NFPER using the following color system:

N – Notes – correct pitches and accidentals (🟦 Blue)
F – Fingering – consistent, effective finger choices (🟧 Orange)
P – Position – hand shape, posture, and keyboard geography (🟪 Purple)
E – Expression – phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, etc. (🟩 Green)
R – Rhythm – steady pulse, accurate timing, and rests (🟥 Red)

✅ If you're only recording audio, just use NER.

Step-by-Step Practice Flow

Identify a section to record
Record your section once — video is best, but audio is fine too.
Listen back with one color/goal in mind.
As you listen, mark your music using that color anywhere it needs improvement.
Repeat for each remaining color, one at a time, until all five have been addressed.
Choose a small “spot” section from your markings to fix.

“Spot” until it’s solid — meaning:

✅ 3 times in a row correctly, or
✅ 5 total correct repetitions, then move on.

Focus on one or two colors at a time while practicing that spot.
Use the troubleshooting checklist below if you're stuck.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

Do you need to slow down?
Should you practice hands alone?
Could you make the spot even smaller?
Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?
Do you need to think ahead more clearly?
Do you need blocking practice?

💚Review once a week with your music at a medium tempo.

🎨 Color-Focus Practice (NFPER)

At the top of your music, write NFPER using the following color system:

N – Notes – correct pitches and accidentals (🟦 Blue)
F – Fingering – consistent, effective finger choices (🟧 Orange)
P – Position – hand shape, posture, and keyboard geography (🟪 Purple)
E – Expression – phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, etc. (🟩 Green)
R – Rhythm – steady pulse, accurate timing, and rests (🟥 Red)

✅ If you're only recording audio, just use NER.

Step-by-Step Practice Flow

Identify a section to record
Record your section once — video is best, but audio is fine too.
Listen back with one color/goal in mind.
As you listen, mark your music using that color anywhere it needs improvement.
Repeat for each remaining color, one at a time, until all five have been addressed.
Choose a small “spot” section from your markings to fix.

“Spot” until it’s solid — meaning:

✅ 3 times in a row correctly, or
✅ 5 total correct repetitions, then move on.

Focus on one or two colors at a time while practicing that spot.
Use the troubleshooting checklist below if you're stuck.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

Do you need to slow down?
Should you practice hands alone?
Could you make the spot even smaller?
Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?
Do you need to think ahead more clearly?
Do you need blocking practice?

💚Review once a week with your music at a medium tempo.

1. m. 8 - slow down slightly to sink into measure 9.
2. mm. 14-15 - first technical issue. Remember the chord is C Major here.
3. mm. 17-18 - keep melody in focus for these measures.
4. mm. 19-27 - gradual crescendo to the f. Remember a “melodic crescendo” is more important that all of the notes getting louder.
5. m. 27 and m. 29 - accent the lowest bass note of the LH at the beginning of these measures. Keep RH strong.
6. m. 43 - fix LH fingering
7. mm. 43-45 - do 5 times per day correctly as slowly as needed to play everything correctly.
8. m. 46 - fox RH note E in 2nd half of measure.
9. mm. 45.5 - 47.5 - same as #3 above
10. mm. 47-49 - same as above.

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

Do you need to slow down?
Should you practice hands alone?
Could you make the spot even smaller?
Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?
Do you need to think ahead more clearly?
Do you need blocking practice?
