Alfred Level 1B, No. 1: Step Right Up

Focus Points:

• Make sure both hands are in C position: the right thumb on C and the left thumb on C.
• The goal is to play each hand smoothly, so that there are no fumbles or slips. So play each hand a few times.
• Then play both hands together at the same time.
• Try both hands in different positions so that you get comfortable playing in different parts of the piano.
• Play the piece slow, medium and fast tempo.
• Play through making some changes to how long certain notes will, that is, improvise!
