• • Think and count through the rhythm of the piece below.

  • Choose a tempo which allows you to accurately perform the marked articulations, rhythms and notes.

  • Demonstrate good posture and phrasing.

CONSOLIDATION: In order to move to the next task, you must perform the following piece for your teacher and receive feedback.
