Review 3

(part 3 of 5 from the article How and Why We Review)

What should we review?

  • Twinkles—The Twinkle variations contain the basic techniques needed in most of the songs your student will ever play.  Use them to review until you are 45!
  • The Review Piece—After your student has learned a few review songs, I will select a specific review piece each week and give you a specific goal for that piece.  Listen for completion of that goal every day during review.
  • Other Songs—Don’t just review the one song I wrote down!  For the first half of Book 1, your student should play all the songs he/she knows every day.  Use the review picture cards to make sure you don’t miss any.  When the student reaches the second half of Book 1, review half of the songs one day and half of the songs the next day.
