Hi Lucas!
ASSIGNMENT FOR NEXT LESSON:
- Do the long tones warm-up every day

- EXERCISES section: Practice all of the Eb material from each sheet
- EXERCISES section: Practice #11-13 in the Bantai-Kovacs book
- TUNES section: practice My Little Suede Shoes with the slow tempo track - you can figure out the rhythms of this tune by listening to the recording and using your ears; also practice along with the YouTube tracks (you can slow these down via the settings wheel if you need to)
