Lesson notes. March 25, 2025

Piece: Prelude in A Major (Chopin)
  • Main focus: Counting and dividing the beats into four sixteenth notes.
  • Watch the reference the video I sent, which is saved in your photo folder on your phone.

Piece: Sheep, May Safely Graze
  • Tempo Adjustment:
    • Measures 1-4 are too fast (80 BPM).
    • Measures 5-8 are too slow (40 BPM).
    • Goal: Bring both sections to a consistent 60 BPM.
    • Work towards even pacing throughout the piece.

Piece: As Time Goes By
  • Rhythm:
    • Pay close attention to the quarter notes, ensuring they receive full value.
  • Memorization Strategy:
    • Use visual reference to remember some of the more complex chords.

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.
