About this lesson

Applying position-change notes to Mozart’s early sonatas, four bars at a time.

Position-change notes are the moments where the elbow leads the hand into a new place. By circling downbeats, refining them through playing, and marking elbow direction, you give every shift a clear, grounded, tension-free anchor.

What this lesson covers

  • Recognizing and marking position-change notes
  • Practicing elbow-led shifts in real repertoire
