Product Description
This
set breaks Beethoven's Sonatina in F (Anh. 5, No. 2) down to help your students
practice the way you really want them to! By giving the piece to your students
in stages, you can help them to see the harmonic structure and overall form of
the piece easily. A piece that may have looked overwhelming as written will
seem a lot less intimidating when it is broken down into its component parts.
The
first Building Block presents only the structural notes and blocks some
accompaniment patterns. Its goal is to get students to learn those notes and
rhythms, to observe the frequent dynamic changes, to play with correct
fingering and to be clean with the rests.
The second Building Block adds
more of the notes, takes chords that were blocked before into the patterns as
written, and encourages students to keep the same focus on detail as they add
more notes in a slow tempo.
The third Building Block is the
piece as Beethoven wrote it. After students have mastered Blocks 1 and 2,
playing the complete work should be an easy step to a polished performance of
this well-known piece.
