November 23 Lesson Notes

Scales

– try to keep your 5th fingers curved when they play
– work on 2 octaves, Hands Together for C-major
– for B-major, start on the 4th finger of your Left Hand

Triads
– practice Hands Separately and check fingering (watch where to use your 2nd fingers)
– for Solid, practice in 2 beats
Beat 1 – using correct fingering, place your fingers on the correct notes
Beat 2 – play the notes
> there should be virtually 100% accuracy

Jingle Bells
– excellent improvement!
