4.   ADDITIONAL
      HOME-PRACTICE
​      SONG-MELODIES:

Select one of the following, preferably one you are quite familiar with and would most enjoy learning to play, to include as a second learning & practice number.  The aim for this section is more about "practice" and less about "mastery", although the former does, over time, lead to the latter.

iv)   Twinkle, twinkle little star
​
v)    Down in the valley

vi)   My Bonnie lies over the ocean

vii)  I'se the b'y
​
viii) Worried man blues

• If your available time, interest, strength and energy permit, repeat the process for another selection, preferably also very-familiar.
