(1) 2nd page , last note in measure too strong, follow music shape

(2) Triplets need count 1-2-3. Mi-2-3, Mi-2-3

(3) add progressive on 3rd page

(4) Last measure, hold hand in the air for 2 seconds before

1st piece
The first 1.5 beats need to be firm and confident, no shaking around

Hold hands walking up

Practice together everyday

Farewell: think tempo, singing out melody in heart, take breath.
LH melody keep going, RH melody also need to be clear. Two melodies.
Clap rhythm before playing.
渐强幅度大些，RH melody 要突出。最高音手臂要甩出去。
Piano emphasize note use elbow rotation. Sweet and be quiet.

Duet:
Very expressively, elbow open wider. Ending two melodies. Third page RH louder than LH. Triplets tempo stable, not too fast. Jonathan triplet not too slow. Ending slow down.

Augustine: final tempo 138.

Farewell: 开头弱起，不是正拍起，先呼吸。curve finger tip speed can be faster, align finger tip on same line. 3rd line: Singing top melody mi-so-fa-la-la, 练习chord, 熟悉手位。line 2 go back to original tempo, 不要犹豫。结尾呼吸， take time to rest, 更放松。多练慢速， LH要弹平均。

第一句渐弱太早。第二行起右手triplet作为background, 轻些。
结尾刮音，6-1-3-6 a minor chord练习，掌握把位。
第一句introduction. Melody start from piano, step by step increase power. Repeat is the same, from soft.
