Hellene,

Yes, I know how to select a part of a song, but I didn't use it while A. was playing

Thank for the help, I'll follow your suggestions and make a summary by the end of the week.

It's very good to know what to do and why, where and what to improve. I'm glad there's someone to guide me, to help me correct the errors and play better and save time also

So here are the instructions for you

Hellene says:
I usually do this:
1. ask my students to play R 'till perfect
2. ask to play R H 'till almost perfect
3. ask to play L
4. LH
5. P
6. PH
7. No computer
8. No computer with rhythm section (metronome)

After that I advice to make a small recital for 'rich relatives' and at the end to drop a hint that the piano lessons now days are very expensive. Take a hat and go around to collect some tips...

We gave it a go and it works really well so I mostly do this for each song I am learning now. Obviously this is not the instructions for sight reading practice but for the challenging pieces you are learning to play.

Loved the comments below the list, great tip with the recital

Thank you for posting it, now I can't say I didn't know

Let's see what the end of the week will bring... Keep you posted!

Good luck with the recitals to all! I can't way to hear news about all of you who enlisted!

PS: Congratulations, Manda! So that's what Hellene told you in private, hum? About being SM forum administrator? Good for you, you're fit for it! Welcome!

Andrea
