John Williams plays Recuerdos de la Alhambra on the Les Dawson show. (early 1990’s recording)
Before John Williams plays, he and Les Dawson are teasing each other by playing Cavatina.

This is an excellent training program for you to memorize notes on a staff.
All you need is five minutes a day. Trust me! You will see the improvement in a week.
Let’s start from the very beginning. Memorizing all names of notes is a breeze.
1. Click anywhere on the staff.
2. Read the note on the staff.
3. Type the name of the note (C, D, E, F, G, A, B. These are all on the left-hand side of a keyboard. So typing in the name should be faster than clicking the name on screen by a mouse)
4. Right side shows your score statistic.
We need to pay extra attention to the following key points:
a, m, i fingers stroke direction -> down! (not up)
nail & flesh touch a string at the same time
to produce sound evenly, always stroke at the same part of your fingers
practice a scale as if it’s an arpeggio (don’t use metronome)
forward & backward scale practice sequence
to play fast scales, eliminate unnecessary movement, improve efficiency
co-ordination exercise, use tremolo to practice scale
