In lessons, you have a performance exam on "Who's that Masked Man?" with a focus on Dynamics, Articulations, Rhythms, Notes and Tempo. This will be during the week of 10/25/10 in preparation for the Elementary performance. You should be playing all four pieces at least twice all the way through along with our daily warm-ups.
We are progressing nicely, keep up the good work!
