So definite practice days when we can do everything are:
Saturday and Sunday Defintite no practice days: Monday and Tuesday All other days ranging from 20-40mins but lets assume 20 mins so what should I focus on in the three 20 min slots. All two octaves 13 scales - 80% there from memory and speed 2 chromatics 3 dominants 2 diminshed arepeggios sight-reading aural - is once a week enough, so at the weekend? 3 pieces of which one is purfect, two just has one problem area and three - eek! So I need the most efficient practice and one that will help him to remember his scales, especially the chroms, dims, arps etc. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Yes but given the earliest exam date could be the 6th June (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) I may not have to suffer it for too long! On an up note it is ridiculously fast so Ds is not being asked to slow down, for once! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
