For this week practice the exercises on page 23, Wayfaring Stranger and To See Swainson:
page 23 is to practice the chords in D minor and the double strum. Try them as the instructions say. Tap your knee (lightly) with your right hand for every quarter note rest (not on 8th note rest on #6).
Wayfaring Stranger - try for sustained, sweet notes. Pay attention to the dynamic marks: mp - medium soft, mf - medium loud, crescendo and decrescendo on measures 20-24. Also practice the chords and try playing some arpeggiated chords or some finger picking patterns with them
To See Swainson - First work on the phrases in measure 3 and 11, and measures 13-18. Practice the Chords with a off beat strum. recordings on Resources page.
