22 Mar

Moonlight

  • line by line perfect, consistency not good
  • pedal should be later, no disruption to LH
  • dynamics should be accurate
  • LH soft

Fur Elise

  • legato fingering in RH

New scale: B harmonic minor

8 Mar

Moonlight

  • balance, RH louder, LH super soft
  • dynamics
  • pedalling needs to be on time

Scales: add D flat major

Spinliedchen

  • this is way too fast, keep it stable
  • LH needs to be softer
  • fingering is wrong in bar 13
  • you can’t miss notes, practice slow

22 Feb

Scales

  • needs to always be 4 octaves
  • push speed faster if you are comfortable
  • you need to finish G# harmonic minor this week.

Fur Elise

  • check right hand fingering, NEVER do 5 5
  • in the middle section, check your coordination

8 Feb

Scales

  • most important thing to do is be rhythmically consistent
  • new scale: G# harmonic minor

Fur Elise

  • your practice has improved!

1 Feb

Fur Elise

  • accuracy is very low, practice method is not good
  • accuracy must be first over speed, you are practicing very wrong

Ex 5C – start learning notes

Scales – start B major and G# harmonic minor

14 Dec

Spinliedchen

  • bar 11 LH staccato
  • bar 27 onwards
    • dynamics
    • staccato
    • RH way too loud
    • lift off on slurs bar 28
    • G flat in bar 36
  • bar 43 RH needs to be slurred
  • last note staccato
  • bar 79, slow down only there

Moonlight Serenade

  • way too fast
  • no dynamics!
    • plan out dynamics much better

11 Dec

Spinliedchen

  • bar 3 long note
  • check notes bar 5
  • check notes bar 10
  • check coordination bar 18
  • speed bar 78

Moonlight Serenade

30 Nov

Moonlight

  • very inaccurate today, needs to be practiced carefully
  • slower overall as well
  • do line by line perfect practice

Spinliedchen

  • keep a stable speed
  • watch staccatos and slur endings, keep both short

9 Nov

Concert pieces: Moonlight Serenade and Spinliedchen

Fur Elise

  • middle section a bit inaccurate, maybe try hands seperately
  • have this section a main focus this week

Spinliedchen

  • currently a big slow down in middle section, bar 27
  • don’t start too fast as well!

2 Nov

Fur Elise

  • LH same speed as RH semiquavers
  • learn the middle section this week

Legend of Tanis

  • line by line, improve accuracy and flow
  • this needs some improvement

19 Oct

Legend of Tanis

  • complete first page well this week

America

Spinliedchen

  • bar 80 LH, watch slurs and staccatos
  • 10-11 no gap
  • 18 RH slur
  • pay attention to dynamics after your are consistent
  • 27 still need consistency work

New piece: Legend of Tanis
