Welcome back to Musicians Addition with your teacher, Reesa! In today's practice session, we're diving into the Hornpipe from Water Music, featured in the Standard of Excellence Book Two. We're focusing on page 36, part A of this engaging piece.

🎷 What to Expect in This Session:

We'll start by examining the key signature and the moderate pace required for this piece.
Attention will be given to specific measures, like measure 15, where there's a G-sharp accidental, and measure two, which involves syncopation.
During the practice, listen for tips on handling syncopated rhythms and accidental notes effectively.
Special focus on dynamic markings and practicing with vibrato on longer tones.
🎵 Practice Highlights:
Detailed walkthrough of measures, focusing on rhythm and timing.
Real-time playing, clapping, and counting to solidify your learning.
