One of my piano teaching goals for this year is to help students solidify their repertoire by re-mastering previous performance or favorite pieces. Here is the plan:
1. Add a My Playlist binder divider.
2. Add a My Playlist assignment sheet block
3. Have students choose which former piece they want to remaster and work on it on their own and for practice points.
4. At each lesson I will ask if they are ready to add a piece to their playlist. They have the option of:
6. Finally, to keep their pieces at remastered level I will add a Warm-Up assignment sheet block. Each day they practice they will begin with a "warm-up" by playing a song from their Playlist one time, choosing a different piece each day. At the beginning they will obviously only have one warm-up piece.
Note: While some students have pieces memorized, it will be a better long-term remaster if they can follow along on their music as well.
How parents can help: Please help locate the cardstock copies of former recital pieces and put those in the student's binder.

- asking for help on their piece then continuing to work on it another week, or
- continuing working on it another week with no help needed, or
- playing it for me when they are confident they have remastered it.
