Knowing fingers/slide positions for notes

Lip slurs

Scale performance *includes chromatic (notes, speed <metronome mark>)

Hand position (hand or finger placement/striking motion/striking accuracy)

Changing fingers faster (increased playing speed-tell which exercise or music you used)

Choose a SELECTION to improve *NOT CHROMATIC!...book line or concert music (write the book line NUMBER/TITLE or the MEASURES from the concert music you will practice...to receive credit, you must tell WHAT you practiced) *

What I will focus on improving in the SELECTION *

Correct notes

Correct rhythms

Details (dynamics, articulations, tempo, slurs, etc.)

"Road map" (knowing where to go for repeats, etc.)

Fluency (playing with the beat without hesitating)

Phrasing (playing a certain number of measures in one breath)
