This piece has three distinct sections, each one at a different tempo. The melody remains the same throughout, but moves up an octave in each section. The student shows that the pitch gets higher by drawing upward lines, uses different colors to show the three different tempos, and drew a similar shapes throughout to show that the melody is the same in each section. https://www.ashleywilsonpiano.com/blog/2022/1/10/creative-ways-to-do-it-again monthly 0.5 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/c0c02786-325b-40dc-979d-258618466717/tempImagecHPSrL.jpg Blog - Creative Ways to "Do it again!" - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ashleywilsonpiano.com/blog/2020/10/24/perfect-practice-part-2 monthly 0.5 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/e5c9e809-eeb6-4682-b943-04beb9c25461/Perfect+Practice+Series.jpg Blog - Perfect Practice: Part 2 - Five More Strategies for Successful Practicing https://www.ashleywilsonpiano.com/blog/2021/6/22/the-parents-guide-to-rote-pieces-part-1 monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1625536866620-QWPYK6NZBRE8AYJJ9JTM/FullSizeRender.jpeg Blog - The Parent's Guide to Rote Pieces: Part 1 - Make it stand out Longer rote pieces use picture cards to aid memory. https://www.ashleywilsonpiano.com/blog/2020/10/13/its-a-lovely-morning-in-the-village monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1602571285868-KGGHTWCNYR9A5O9X54MK/le+honk.png Blog - Untitled Goose Game and the Magic of Reactive Soundtracks Le honk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1615523836242-HB701PLFKMRQ00Y4S70V/Minstrels+Example+1.jpeg Blog - Untitled Goose Game and the Magic of Reactive Soundtracks Example 1 Minstrels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1616104875280-Z73RRFKCJ4WULOK65692/Anacapri.png Blog - Untitled Goose Game and the Magic of Reactive Soundtracks Example 2 Les collines d’Anacapri: changes made to register in Golding’s low-energy interpretation are marked in red. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1616046627905-4N5M2DP19AMFDJ114C2Z/Homage.png Blog - Untitled Goose Game and the Magic of Reactive Soundtracks Example 3 Hommage à S.

The harmonic shift in mm. 46-47 is abrupt and striking, functioning clearly as interruption through harmony, texture, and dynamics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1616701855980-BQHYGAP5VEPHISZS6YZG/Measures+80-94.jpeg Blog - Untitled Goose Game and the Magic of Reactive Soundtracks Example 6 Le serenade interrompue: Measures 80-84, clearly in D major, feature a march-like style not seen in any other section of the piece—the guitarist is competing with other music within his world. His sentiment toward this more prolonged interruption shows in mm. 85-86, marked Rageur (furious). Golding’s interpretation places this interruption two octaves higher. https://www.ashleywilsonpiano.com/blog/perfect-practice-part-1 monthly 0.5 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/e5c9e809-eeb6-4682-b943-04beb9c25461/Perfect+Practice+Series.jpg Blog - Perfect Practice: Part 1 - Perfect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1605316179263-T83CEN4J58W2KNDYAWUM/Screen+Shot+2020-11-13+at+8.09.05+PM.png Blog - Perfect Practice: Part 1 I promise this won’t be the case. ;) Source https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1605304648249-CG0QPV46XUJ4IF2E0LG6/FullSizeRender-2.jpeg Blog - Perfect Practice: Part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1605304717827-KNRGSCM8LJ0AGYXZZB1U/FullSizeRender.jpeg Blog - Perfect Practice: Part 1 Use Iwako erasers to track repetition—each time the student plays the target passage correctly, move an eraser to the other side of the music stand. https://www.ashleywilsonpiano.com/blog/2020/7/29/getting-the-most-from-online-lessons monthly 0.5 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1596169074096-AK5V9SHT9OAS6AYV95T3/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Getting the Most from Online Lessons - What to do before, during, and after online lessons https://www.ashleywilsonpiano.com/blog/2020/2/9/the-art-of-marking-your-music monthly 0.5 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f0e63af9a61e4f84ab0eff/1581516164459-MSTLD3GTKSJP1NIQBH0S/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Art of Marking Music - A skill of its own!
