VALUABLE TIPS

When trying to accomplish a project (such as learning a piece of music), you are more likely to succeed if you break up the large task into smaller tasks. Do these smaller tasks each day. You have to be consistent (no skipping days), self motivated and aiming to improve or make progress each day. Here is a suggested plan of what I mean:

Be able to play at a steady beat. Keep a record of ALL your attempts.

The aim to have a significant amount of correct attempts than incorrect ones.

If you make a mistake, think about about what caused that mistake and how you will fix it before trying again. Don't keep repeating the same mistake without having a strategy.

You can move onto the next days work if you find a day easy to accomplish. I highly encourage this. This plan is just one of many ways to work but the key idea is to break the big task into lots of smaller easier goals.

Day 10 

Perform the piece to a family member. Video record your performance and share.

Post your video recording on SeeSaw. Please make sure to post it in the Music folder.

Do not talk in the video. Get straight onto playing. Please remember, I teach Music to the entire school (500 students) so just imagine the sheer volume of work I have to go through on SeeSaw. So, please help me by keeping it as short as possible. Only submit your best recording and submit it only when you are happy with your performance. Keep in mind, next week there will be another new song to learn and record.
