WORK YOUR PLAN

The Organ Duo

With the duo broken down both into vertical sections (perhaps four measures) and horizontal parts (the two lines), you are ready to begin practice. Practice a horizontal line (perhaps the left-hand part first) through the section slowly enough to stay in control. After several perfect repetitions can be played in a row, work towards several more repetitions at a slightly faster tempo. Repeat this process until reaching proficiency at a designated tempo.

Now move to the other horizontal line (the right-hand part), repeating the procedure just described. After achieving the same standard on that part, combine the two parts at a tempo slow enough to stay in control. Work towards a designated tempo gradually, as described above, and then record the date and tempo.
