Focus on the Mood: Before even playing, encourage the student to think about the title "Daydream." What does a daydream sound like? How can they convey this mood through their touch and playing? Practice Broken Chords Separately: Work on the broken chord patterns in the introduction hands separately, focusing on a smooth, legato connection. Use a flexible wrist to ensure the patterns flow evenly. Master the Hand Crossover: The hand-crossing section is a key technical point. Practice this slowly, paying close attention to the fingering and the coordination between the hands. Add the pedal only after the hand movements are secure. Balance the Hands: Practice with a focus on listening to the balance between the melody and the accompaniment. The melody should have a singing, slightly fuller tone than the arpeggiated figures. Controlled Pedal: Use the pedal gently and lift it cleanly to avoid blurring the harmonies. Arakelyan's notes on the piece indicate its specific use. Listen to Recordings: Use recordings (like those available on the official ABRSM Grade 2 2023–2024 recordings) to hear a professional interpretation of the piece. Watching video tutorials can also provide visual guidance on fingering and phrasing
