Toccata Ritmico - So far you had up to measure 16 completed, and today we learned 17-34. Continue to practice both of these sections as we prepare to learn the Coda next. Great job :)

Seascape - Please remember to practice this piece along with your other pieces to keep this piece fresh and sharp. To begin memorizing, take it line by line --> memorize the first line first, then the second, then the third, and so on and so forth.

Nocturne - This piece sounds great! Take your time with it and practice slowly, this way you have time to think about the next phrase coming up. Don't forget to add in your dynamics! There should be a good difference between piano and mezzo forte.

Sonatina - We just began this piece today and we made it through the first page, right hand only. Continue to practice the right hand and try out the left hand too. If it feels very easy, you can begin to put it hands together.

Great job today!

- Ms. Gabby

Both "Jessica's Waltz" and "Seascape" are complete so choose one to have memorized and submit for recording for next week:)

Nocturne - Beautiful job! We learned and read through the last page hands separate, so continue to practice hands separate and then work on putting it hands together to have the piece completed.

Please print out Sonatina so we can begin to learn this piece.

Excellent job today!
