Ribambelle #2
I was pretty impressed with the work you've done. here's some specific notes:
- roll only in the A part. Chords should be solid in the B (and when you've learned it like that, go back on roll wherever you darn well please!)
- lh should be smoothly connected through the curved slur line. Don't lift when you get to a barline :)
- make sure you are playing the notes individually. The hand doesn't roll. fingers just play the notes quickly.
April Point. I'll eventually make a solo part, but you could just look at the beginning section, harp 2 for what we did today. However it is better to just practice the two handed 7 and 8 note chords, before you look to the music sheet.
Spring Dance. make a new B part, and play it with all the variations. You can just open a Zoom meeting as if you had a lesson, and play it, then leave the meeting. And let me know you've done it so I look at the video.
