Practice Tips for All Creatures of our God and King late intermediate piano solo
This is an exciting arrangement that the student may be tempted to play faster than possible. Encourage the student to breathe while they play to keep the tempo steady and manageable (I like recommending breathing in for one measure, out for one measure).
There may be the temptation to have a heavy pulse for each beat, but focus on phrasing an entire measure or two.
If the student struggles to bring out the measure for the first verse, experiment with “shadow playing,” where the student only plays the actual melody notes and “shadow plays” (puts their finger on the key, but doesn’t press down) all other notes.
