 * 3) Technique - Keyboard is pulled to the edge of the table
 * 4) Technique - Don't be lazy! Wrists are flat and not resting on the table
 * 5) Technique - fingers are hitting the proper keys
 * 6) Technique - Don't over work yourself! Elbows are at your sides and your shoulders are relaxed
 * 7) Technique
 * 8) Technique
 * 9) Accuracy
 * 10) Speed
 * What are you graded on?
 * For the first couple of weeks I will be primarily focusing on TECHNIQUE
 * If you are not practicing proper technique you will receive a low grade
 * The next part I will be looking at is Accuracy
 * Your goal should be to get 95% or above
 * The last part is Speed
 * After you learn how to use proper technique your accuracy will improve, after your accuracy will improve your speed will begin to increase
