ü Translate all foreign terms. ü Consider form and phrase structure and mark all breaths accordingly. ü Indicate all tempos with a metronome marking. ü Divide long flourishes into logical subunits. (For example, a group of 7 could be
subdivided into 3 + 4.) ü Mark possible note groupings where appropriate. ü Mark scale patterns as necessary. ü Mark breaks in typical scale patterns as necessary. ü Clarify ornamentation such as turns. ü Learn notes, rhythms, and articulations slowly and carefully, catching all
accidentals. ü Bracket measures which may present greater technical challenges and practice
them more frequently. ü Discover and mark “foundation” tempos for technical passages. ü Apply practice rhythms where appropriate. ü Strive for rhythmic precision with variations in tempo occurring only in
conjunction with convincing musical ideas. ü Match articulation and vibrato to the style and character of each piece or passage. ü Implement the general rule regarding the use of the thumb b-flat and lever keys. ü Bring out all dynamic markings while taking care to consider pitch. ü Use standard alternate fingerings to aid in keeping pitch down in 3rd octave and
on middle register d-flat. ü Experiment with your own musical ideas.
