March 30 Lesson Notes

Review enharmonic changes

Try the Dominant of Dominants exercise
– play a tonic maj7 chord, turn it into a V7 and go to the tonic of the new key – repeat the process until going through all keys (circle of 4ths/5ths
– remember directions, going down a perfect 5th is like going up a perfect 4th

Technique
– nice improvement!
– continue to work on playing faster and adding dynamics

Sonatina in F Major
– nice work on bar 24 and 26, continue to work on steady LH
– make sure to keep RH crisp in bar 38
– remember to play LH softly (listen to hand balance)
– bar 48 – try to add a terrace dynamic from forte to piano
