Finishing Grade 4
CPP-4 Wrap Up & Review
Trying to catch up here at the end of class and figure out what I actually had progress on (I definitely learned a bunch of techniques and theory along the way).
I feel like I really worked on pieces in the previous CPP Classes and dropped the ball here in Grade 4 … This level was quite challenging with weekly lesson pieces as well (work, life, pets), there were some weeks I had 6-7 pieces going - or NOT actually because I would drop the CPP pieces to work on my lesson pieces since I had to show up to lesson with something.
I plan on continuing with Ear Training and Technique regularly.
Pieces I consider completed:
Lesson 1: Starting Out / Chastushka
Lesson 3: Footsteps in the Snow
Lesson 4: Jaunty
Lesson 6: A Gentle Breeze
Lesson 9: Old French Song Tchaikovsky
Lesson 10: Ripples
Lesson 14: Study in C
Lesson 15: By Myself - Christopher Norton (memorized and performed in group)
Lesson 23: On a River Bridge - Sideris
Lesson 26: Enchanted - Sideris
Pieces I did not work on long enough, or very much at all …
Lesson 2: Sonatina in F Diabelli
Lesson 6: Little Etude Schumann
Lesson 8: Water Lilies
Lesson 11: Avalanche - Heller / Evening by the Fireplace - Sideris
Lesson 12: Cool Cat Waltz
Lesson 13: Little Timmy’s Chromatic Etude - Sideris
Lesson 14: Dewdrops
Lesson 16: First Light - Bell
Lesson 17: La Cloche Sonne - Liszt
Lesson 19: A Steady Hand - Christopher Norton
Lesson 20: Minuet in Cm - Bach
Lesson 21: Pottering About - Bell
Lesson 22: Open Window - Christopher Norton
Lesson 24: Allegro non troppo / Ethereal Flow - Sideris
Lesson 25: Positively Swinging - Christopher Norton
Lesson 5 - No Piece
Lesson 7 - Overlapping notes (tendonitis flare up)
Lesson 18 - No Piece
Assignments to Complete:
Lessons 16 & 18 - Orchestra
Lessons 21 & 23 - Composition
I would like to revisit some of the pieces I didn’t complete, especially the Sonatina … I also didn’t complete the Sonatina from Grade 3!! Have yet to complete a Sonatina in my piano journey.
