Hello David.
How to do correctly in one LOA?
1. learn all the songs for the same level and only then make a sound recording of them and send to the test?
2. learn a song and immediately make a recording, then learn the next song and make a recording, etc. At the end of the course to attach the recordings made earlier to the test?
Hello cfed. There are multiple options...
1) You could learn one song, and then move on to the next song. To help help you not forget the first song, you will want to play the song once each day. This method is good, because the first song will get better over time. Choosing the harder song to tackle first is smart idea (whichever that may be for you).
2) Learn both songs concurrently, spending an allotted time on each, each day, so that you finish both songs around the same time. Even when you feel like you've learned each song, I would give it time (around a month) of just playing the songs each day as a warmup (and working on any problem areas if they arise). The reason for this is that each study song has a lot of technique, and to make the song actually sound GOOD, requires time for the techniques to become more effortless when playing the song, as well as getting tremolo and slaps in there more smoothly. Students commonly submit study material too early... there's no rush... give these challenging songs time to simmer and get better with just a little more time.
