Just a few letter mistakes, but she knows when she makes them and corrects. She has a simple piece in her theory book that will help her tremendously in learning the letters on the staff better. Have her play it and say letters aloud. Ultimately cover or erase the letters. I want to work on her dynamics (loud, soft and crescendo) in her next few pieces. ]]> 2019-01-29 00:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/325200595 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/327591055 Playing sharps #. Claire is doing great. Have her try to practice every other day for 10-15 minutes    We need to speed the tempo of the songs a little bit more. We chose a “robot” sound on the keyboard. 😁]]> 2019-02-05 00:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/327591055 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/330604858 Playing in C position with sharps. ]]> 2019-02-12 23:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/330604858 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/332487958 Hands together with 2nds, 3rds, 4ths and 5th in left hand to accompany. ]]> 2019-02-18 23:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/332487958 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/335161122 Playing flats. We are working towards speeding up the tempo of her prices. She clearly knows what to play and when she makes mistakes. We just want to get it more fluid. The duration is approximately 5 minutes for her to play. It should be closer the 2 minutes. The next song is fairly simple. We are working on going from 50 to 90 on the metronome. ]]> 2019-02-26 01:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/335161122 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/337725878 Working on staccato playing in C position.

Claire plays this beautifully. She gets a little lost on the last line, but the connections she is making from measure to measure are seamless. 😁😁😁]]> 2019-08-13 00:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/374214891 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/381913738 I love the sound she picked for this one. Very sneaky! Great job, Claire!! Playing eighth notes with staccato with b flat accidentals with varying dynamics. 😁😁]]> 2019-09-10 00:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/381913738 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/388555705 Clair does not like this position lol, but I think she plays very nicely. A little hiccup on the third measure, but she gets back on track very quickly. 😁😁😁]]> 2019-09-24 01:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/388555705 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/392769954 Almost perfect!!

Great job on this one. Eighth note runs need to be a little quicker, but wonderful performance. ]]> 2020-01-28 00:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/436743514 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/443408917 Great job one first, second and fourth line. Line three was a bit uneven. Claire is still getting mixed up on which hand plays which part. I’m thinking of some tricks to help. She is a joy!! ]]> 2020-02-11 00:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/443408917 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/448377588 I gave Claire some sideline coaching while playing this piece. I wonder if she would benefit from me playing it and videoing it for questions when practicing at home. I usually circle tricky spots for her to focus on and write some letters in here and there to help her along. She’s such a hard worker. Keep up practicing at least 15 minutes 3 times a week and she will play more smoothly. 😁😁😁]]> 2020-02-20 23:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/448377588 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/449888101 Working on melodic 6th to 5th position. The beginning starts a little off, but she finds her groove in the second part. Very nice.  ]]> 2020-02-25 02:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/449888101 stacymerrittmusic https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/453342747 Rhythm was a bit off on the first two lines, but she gets back on track on the third measure. 4th line had a little trouble with the 6th in her left hand, but other than that, nicely played. 😁😁]]> 2020-03-03 00:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/stacymerrittmusic/we1mruchoaez/wish/453342747
