Hello!
Great work this week!
Berke:
For Mozart’s Minuet in F, please ensure Berke labels the Macro beat for the bars he finds difficult to play hands together. We did an example of this in class today. I’ve uploaded a new piece, Ecossaise in E flat Major by Beethoven, for Berke to sight read at home, please have him read the right and left hands separately. For Moonlight Sonata, this week please review the first 4 bars of the song as we made some corrections to the chords in measure 3. Please encourage Berke to play this slowly to ensure he has time to play the correct notes. Measure 4 is to be played VERY slowly as this bar has 4 different chords played in a row. Encourage Berke to practicing building these chords slowly so that his fingers get used to playing the different keys in each chord. Once Berke is familiar and comfortable with the notes in each chord he can slowly speed up the tempo. If he feels confident Berke can also sight read the next 4 bars and we can correct them in class if need be. The new Beethoven piece can be found here!
Happy Practicing!
Looking forward to more great work in April.
