Hutchinson+Edit+for+Lee+Lesson

Dear Ms. Lee, I like your lesson and how you use the warm-ups to work on concepts you are working on in the piece. One thing I might do is have them play the excerpt from the piece you discussed in your lesson without emphasizing the swells. Have them play as "boring" and non-musical as possible. Then add in the emphasis that you want and ask them which they like better. Hopefully they say the second one! That way they understand the change you want to make and understand why it makes the music sound more musical.
