Primer: Unit 02, Lesson 2
Technique: Independent Fingers
Repeated Notes, Walking Technique, Double Bar Line
Goal: At the end of this lesson, students should be able to play fingers 2 or 3 individually while keeping a strong, relaxed, curved hand shape. They should be lifting the arm between each note and "dropping" the hand on a different finger. They should also be able to recognize repeated notes.
Metric: Be careful that your student does not attempt to transfer the weight of their arm from one finger to the next yet. This exercize is about strengthening individual fingers and hand shape, and not about teaching legato movement.
Assigned Song: The Walking Song (5x), Tightrope Walker (5x)
Review Songs: Two Black Ants (1x), Two Blackbirds (1x), Into the Cave (1x), Three Little Kittens (1x), The Old Clock (1x)
