IN PROGRESS: A Whole New WorldApril 5
This one is ready to put on the shelf and add to your repertory. If you had a goal of playing it in public, I would insist in fixing the flow issue, which would take a lot of practice, but otherwise it is a piece you can pick up and play at any time. The more you play it, the more the flow will come to it. |

Sept-28. Good job. Now voice the chords so the top melody is heard easily. Patiently practice the chords giving the top note more weight, and the others played much more lightly.
Write in the score the name of the notes that are too low. | ||

Balance hands so the melody is heard easily over the LH chords. We fixed the ending so the final 16th notes match the previous 16th notes. Add dynamics (piano, forte, crescendo, etc.) |
