This is our recital piece! Taefa's Rising - Look at all of our markings and make sure to listen for the change in dynamics. Listen for the melody when it changes hands on page 23. Continue to polish with memorization BUT work with the music to implement and listen for the changes.
Remember to keep a steady pace throughout and if you find the piece getting away from you, go back to slow practice with the music.
Explore Saorla's Rising - practice separate hands and incoporate dynamics when first learning.
