Excellent work this year. You studied Randall Faber’s Hanon‑Faber selections (Parts 1 & 2) and the online exercises, and your technique is now solid. You played with clarity, steady rhythm, and growing independence of hands — exemplary for a 10‑year‑old. But do not grow complacent.

Step-by-step plan: 1) Continue Hanon‑Faber warmups daily with a metronome: hands separately for 5 minutes, together 5–10 minutes, increase tempo by 5 bpm only when perfectly even. 2) Scales and arpeggios: 10 minutes—slow, even tone, slur or detach as written. 3) Repertoire practice: slow practice with deliberate phrasing and marked fingerings, then tempo work. 4) Musicality: practice dynamics and voicing; record and listen. 5) Weekly goals: polish one piece to performance level; play it for family or record.
