Intro to B’nei Mitzvah Process
Intro to Webpage Lesson Time |
STUDY METHOD (always have your printouts/pages in front of you)
1. Listen to the assigned audio files a whole bunch of times, over several days. Let it sink in! 2. Sing along with the audio files many times until it is identical, smooth and confident. If there are glitches, use the slider to “rewind” and review a word or two at a time until identical. 3. Sing the whole assignment without the audio file (as you will in your next lesson). Use this approach every week, and knock my socks off with how well you know it! AND, 4. every week, you MUST review at least once, everything learned to date, and FIX any glitches. Homework for this week: Bring a looseleaf binder (with sheet pockets) |
