Bastien 1A (All in One)
Practice My New Scooter - remember to gently release the note on the REST.
Practice All Through the Night, our new piece that has the TIE! Remember that the ties have a curvy line that goes to the SAME NOTE. We don't play the second note we HOLD it for however many counts it gets.
Practice by 1) Saying Note Names, looking for STEPS or SKIPS.
2) Counting the measures 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4
We also looked at the next page and talked about SLURS and playing LEGATO!
