Students who play from the beginning every single time will never play the ending of their pieces well, and they won’t be confident picking up after a slip in the middle of the piece.
This cure is a fun (and a little bit sneaky) way to get your students starting from different spots, and practicing the ending more than the beginning.
Steps
On day 1, split your piece into six sections and write the numbers in pencil on the music.
Roll a die and play the section with whichever number it lands on.
Write that number in the chart and repeat the process seven times.
