Choose Good Fingerings,
Demonstrate,
Focus On Expressive Markings,
Focus on the Left Hand Accompaniment Patterns,
Hands Separate Practice,
Help Student Achieve Sensitive and Musical Playing,
Isolate the Thumb,
Map Out Hand Position Shifts,
Play Only the Bottom Note of the Accompaniment Pattern,
Play Similar Passages Together,
Play Small Segments,
Play Without the Ornaments,
Practice Scalar Passages in Rhythms,
Study the Contour of the Individual Voices,
Study the Contour of the Melody,
Work on Creating a Good Tone,
Work on Expressive Phrasing,
Work on Getting the Correct Style,
Work on a Smooth Legato Touch
