IN PROGRESS: "Bagatelle" by Robert Schumann
from book: Easy Classics to Moderns #17 p. 90

May 3
Excellent practice.  Now that you know how to play it without the repeating note, and you understand the way the melodic lines move, 

Go to the end of the Bagatelle still learning the moving notes.

If you decide to start incorporating the G, practice only the LH and give more priority to the moving note, playtime steady G very lightly.

MERRY WIDOW WALTZ

Recording of the 2nd page included below.  

IN PROGRESS: A Whole New World

April 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.

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.

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.
