sight-read the whole song slowly with right and left hands.
8 mins
Yes, overall I don’t think that this song is difficult but both hands are playing in treble clef so it was a little bit of a challenge to read the left hand in treble clef because I kept wanting to play bass clef notes.
5/31
go through the first page with only the left hand.
6 mins
yes, I worked on recognizing the notes as treble clef noted for the left hand faster which I think is a good skill for me to build on.
6/1
Add the right hand back to the first page.
5 mins
yes, once I had the left hand down the right hand was easy to add in the right hand because overall the notes are simple. The only thing messing me up was the double treble clef.
6/2
Listen to other people’s songs and give feedback.
all of class
yes, I need to get better at verbally participating in class and this is a good time to do so.
yes, because I started a new part of the song and was on task for the whole 7 mins. For the rest of the day, I went through old songs to see if they were still memorized for fun.
5/16
no class
5/17
Work on ending left hand for M 121
6 mins
yes, because I was on task and was able to figure out how to line the left hand up with the 16th notes. For the rest of the class, I practiced Oga by Christian Onyeji from memory.
5/18
Kenner boogie, M122, right hand
6 mins
yes, because I made progress on another part of the song and was focused the whole time I was practicing. For the rest of class, I listened to the band play in the funt of the class as practice for the Japanese students.
5/19
Play M 121-122 with both hands
8 mins
yes, I got to work on the transition between the two measures which will help me learn the rest of the 16th note section.
Yes, because I finished learning the right-hand portion of this line and I felt focused the whole time.
5/2
start learning M 21-24, left hand
5 mins
Yes, because I was able to quickly learn the left-hand portion because it is very similar to an earlier part of the song.
5/3
Absent
5/4
continue learning M21-24 left hand (play hand together if there is time)
7 mins
yes, because I was focused the entire time which demonstrates a good work ethic and I was able to play with both hands together.
5/5
learn right hand to measure 25+26
6 mins
ye, because I was on task and able to easily learn the right-hand part for this section and I don’t think it will be too difficult to add the left-hand.
Personal Comments
Even tho I didn’t finish the second line I still think I accomplished a lot and didn’t completely not meet my goal because the 8th notes in this part of the song are difficult and the goal I set at the beginning of the week was a skosh unreasonable.
