Ee Lin's first lesson on F.Kuhlau

Oh ya, for Bar 9-12, it actually starts with left hand, because in right hand first count is a rest. Therefore to make the melody sound complete, emphasize the first note in left hand, pls. It goes the same for bar 13-16. Trickiest part: The first note for first pair of tuplet is a rest. So please beware of the tempo. Keep track and don't panic. If you are unaware of the count, you might play it a little bit faster or slower. If you lazy to start all over again, play from Bar 11/12, and continue just practicing the miscount part. ( I used to practice this for 1/2 an hour, just repeating the part) So no worries and don't give up.

I am still working on page 2 -3 . Actually it is an advice, your interpretation and mine might not be the same. Just for sharing purposes . *Tee hee :)

Sonatina is always a good book to start. Practice makes perfect and nice expression will come after you have master the notes ya. So please be patient while practicing. (*.*)
NB:To me, a well performed classical music will need to have certain criteria. First, accurate tempo. Next, so often you will come across it is much alike to chromatic scale so beware of finger turning (follow the fingering suggested) , try your best to make the turning smooth. Not to forget, liveliness! Make the piece sound lively by master the dynamics. Classical music is different from Romantic or 20th century piece, it is much simple yet soothing (没有很大的起伏，可是就有细水长流的感觉。）My sis is pretty good in playing Mozart classical piece. You need stamina for this (8-10 consecutive pages, not easy though.)

P.S To those students that ♥ classical music, please buy a notebook and jot down some notes about your feeling on a piece and how do you want it to be played. It can be a handbook that you can keep or share. This will definitely help in your ABRSM oral test. Will update you all when i completed the other two pages. Recently, I am really busy with my work.
