Week 08

Welcome to lesson 8

This weeks pattern is Plucking Stars Change Galaxies. On the Tricky-’O’-Meter (TOM) this pattern ranks as a 5 out of 10. TOM is a combination of a patterns score out of 5 for physical effort required. And a score out of 5 for technical complexity. This is includes what flexibility level is required. Adding these two scores together gives a total out of 10.

TOM is just something I use to give students an idea of what to expect. It’s not carved in stone, it’s more for fun and some people disagree with my scores strongly! So feel free to create your own!

I have fond memories of this weeks pattern, it came in very handy whilst eating at a wonderful restaurant in Portugal (but that’s a story for another time).

This week I also share with you the 10 do’s and don’ts for your practice – exactly as they were shared with me by my teacher.

In order to complete this weeks lesson, just follow these 4 steps:

Step 1:

→ Watch the Videos

Step 2:

→ Download and read the written material for week 8

Step 3:

→ Practice Plucking Stars – form only until you are so confident you know what you are doing, you can do it easily with your eyes closed. Only then practice it with the breathing. Remember the two golden words – relaxed and gentle.

Step 4

→ Complete the progress tracker for week 7 – this is vital! You’ll be doing this every week. Don’t worry I’ll remind you.

Until next week enjoy your practice.
