Important upcoming events
February 5th will be a very busy day for all of us. Not only is Practice Log #2 due, we also have our first cummulative quiz and our first playing test! The first playing test is #27 Hop Old Squirrel. Please note that all playing tests are pass-fail. To pass the playing test, a student must play the entire piece with three or less note or rhythmic errors. A study guide for the Cumulative Quiz #1 will go home on Thursday, January 29th.
Practice Tips
- Go through the song and sing the note names
- Go through the song and clap and count the rhythm
- Play in front of a mirror so you can check your fingering
- Use a metronome or find one online. There’s an app for that!
- Ask someone to listen to you play and give you advice
- Circle all notes that you find hard
- If you have a piece with a part that is hard, practice it 10 times by itself. Then put the difficult part with the rest of the piece.
