Thompson
Review:
1. Yankee Doodle (p. 29): good! just make sure you're holding your half notes for the full 2 counts
2. Carry Me Back to Old Virginny (p. 30): keep practicing slowly, count for each measure and read your notes well
3. Rag-time Raggles (p.21): good job, keep practicing (again always count)
4. The Chimes (p. 23): great!!
5. Funny Faces (p. 24): good, continue to practice with the counts so it's nice & smooth; no pausing in between (half notes = 2, dotted half = 3)
6. Old MacDonald (p. 25): great job, continue to practice this one
7. Blow the Man Down (p. 27) : good
8. The Church Organ (p. 28): good, continue to review, since this piece is only RH you can keep your LH resting on your lap

New:
Pgs. 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 (rest of the book)
