Eliot Starting RED books (level 1) Lesson book pg 21 (delete “spaces” in rhythm) + discovery + pg 23 (fix rhythm) Performance – GOAL: Play all songs in the book in order without stopping!! (If you can have your mom set up a video camera to record you, that would be awesome...) Theory pg Technique pg 10-11 +14-17 (Try with other 5-finger scales too) Remember that the NOTES are not the only important things! You're doing really well reading the notes in almost all of the songs in your books, but you need to make sure you learn and practice all of the other elements, too.  Once you can play all the songs WITH the notes, rhythm, dynamics, etc. THEN we can move up to the next level =)
