Pay extra attention to rhythms and counting.
“Glory, Joy and Crown”
Work the tricky sections before you start at the beginning. Pay close attention to accidentals! 1st Trumpets work on good breath support for those high notes.
Remember!
Successful practice time:
1. Quiet space
2. All materials present
3. Good Posture
4. Warm up with deep breaths for 1-2 minutes (10 seconds in, 10 seconds out)
Successful music practice:
1. Look for time signature, key signature(s), tempo(s), dynamics, and accidentals.
2. Clap, tap, or buzz rhythm before playing.
3. Silently finger/position through the piece in tempo.
4. Play through the exercise. (Add the accompaniment track for Essential Elements at least one time.)
5. If you can play through it 4x without a mistake you have mastered it.
