“Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes,
it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.”
AUTHOR: Frederic Chopin

.......a. TEACHER DEMONSTRATED TO INTRODUCE TO THE CLASS
.......b. REVIEWED DIRECTIONS and METER
.......c. DISCUSSED NEW NOTE "G#" (HIGH 3RD FINGER) ON THE "D" STRING
.............1) REVIEWED THAT A SHARP (#) ADDED TO A NOTE RAISES THE PITCH OF THE NOTE 1/2 STEP
.............2) 3RD FINGER THAT NORMALLY PLAYS "G" ON THE "D" STRING NEEDS TO MOVE 1/2 STEP HIGHER TOWARD THE BRIDGE DIRECTION
.............3) 3RD FINGER IS EXTREMELY HIGH ALMOST AT THE SPOT OF THE 4TH FINGER
.............4) A STUDENT ASKED A GREAT QUESTION: "CAN A HIGH 3RD FINGER ALSO BE A LOW 4TH FINGER?"AND THE ANSWER IS YES BUT IN THIS SECTION IT IS MORE PRACTICAL TO RAISE THE 3RD FINGER THAN TO LOWER THE 4TH
.......d. THE 4TH FINGER IS USED IN THIS PIECE SO WE PRACTICED EXERCISES USING THE 4TH FINGER
.......e. WE SIGHT READ THROUGH THE MUSIC
