Court Festival
Have students read the first 12 measures again. Ask key
questions and continue sight reading through the piece. Go
over harder rhythms as needed and stop when it starts to fall
apart.
Breaking down portions of the song will help students break
down the piece as they play it. I will also have student
assessment while we go through the piece.
