IN PROGRESS: A Whole New WorldApril 5
This one is ready to put on the shelf and add to your repertory. If you had a goal of playing it in public, I would insist in fixing the flow issue, which would take a lot of practice, but otherwise it is a piece you can pick up and play at any time. The more you play it, the more the flow will come to it. |
| ||
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.

Exercise 6, but you may need to review some of the previous ones first to catch up.

6/29 good job. this one is passed

Sept-28. Good job. Now voice the chords so the top melody is heard easily. Patiently practice the chords giving the top note more weight, and the others played much more lightly.
Write in the score the name of the notes that are too low. | ||

Enclosed is a chart from which we will learn how to apply chords to a melody, and how to arrange a piece for piano. Start by learning the melody. We will work on identifying the notes of the chords at the next lesson. |

Very good use of the chords.
BLOCK CHORDS: All the notes at the same time
BROKEN CHORDS: Either one note at a time, or breaking the chords into bass+chord by assigning the lower note to the bass and the two upper notes to the chord.
See diagram above to understand how to fit, and listen to the example recordings to hear how the counting sounds.

Balance hands so the melody is heard easily over the LH chords. We fixed the ending so the final 16th notes match the previous 16th notes. Add dynamics (piano, forte, crescendo, etc.) |
