Since it’s holiday time, most of you all are unable to come for practice. So I hope this blog will keep you all updated on what we’ve learned during each practice and the practice progress.
Currently we are emphasizing on building the basic foundation
Ø Please practice the C scale (from 1-12) for at least 3 sets as warm up exercise/ daily practices.*
Ø Practice the jumping holes*
Ø Practice the breathing exercise*
Ø Learn the theory well (the tempo, the loud/soft part….)*
Please practice at home. All this mentioned above are important. Remember, we can only move forward when everyone is moving towards the same goal. If you don’t practice, you are dragging the whole team behind.
Homework
The 5 Ap songs
Canon- page 1 and 2
Camel song- page 1
Russlan and ludmilla overture- page 1 and 2
*be careful of the blowing double notes when it’s the sharp(with arrow) notes.
Such as moment musical, 1st harmonica, bar 41. there’s a tendency to blow double notes, if u are blowing the 6 draw notes first while you press the button later. it produces 2 sounds.
So, it sounds like u blow 6 draw and 6 draw with button in.
The same thing to fancy polka. Bar 37. the 7 draw button in.
so u have to press the button 1st then just blow the notes.
