ANNE DIEVLER
Fall 2025 goal includes jury participation

Lesson notes. June 17, 2025.

Today we focussed on A Whole New World
Attention to syncopations.  
Hesitations will go away gradually of you don't archive the piece.
I will record "A Whole New World" as soon as I am able

Summer Project Repertoire
You will be working on three new pieces this summer. Please scan the scores you will be using so we can refer to the same source during lessons and practice.
1. Spinning Song – Elmenreich
One of the goals for the summer
2. Cinema Paradiso – Ennio Morricone
One of the goals for the summer
3. Memory
Let's use a different system to learn this song: Charts with melody and chords, then using a repeating pattern for the LH.
⸻
Looking Ahead
Next year we are going to incorporate chart reading with chord building, helping you become fluent at creating accompaniments and exploring light improvisation.

IN PROGRESS: Somewhere Over the Rainbow.  Arranging a melody

This is a process that starts by learning the melody, then adding a single-note bass, then adding the chords as block chords in root position.  Gradually we will be converting the song into a more complex arrangement.
