Celebrate Connection
A few ideas to bring playfulness to practice time!
Play at lightning speed!
Video record (or voice record) a song and send to your LPM teacher! Can you see how much you have accomplished this semester?!
Sing along with a Russian accent.
Chord Transitions
Mom, did you know I can play my chords with my eyes shut? The goal is to have their eyes on the music while they are playing as much as possible, with only quick glances at their fingers. With their favorite song, invite them to memorize it and "see" the chords in their minds while they play with their eyes closed.
Holiday Songs
The holiday songs in the back of the songbook are great practice to reinforce chord transitions while being entertaining for your student and family. These songs will add cheer to the holidays and festivities and they will help solidify the transition between ALL of the chords in the right hand before we begin Yellow Arrows. Jingle away!
