We did a small section at the lesson. Do the same at home. Work on small sections so you can focus on sound rather then playing the notes. Similar principles as we mentioned at Chopin:

I'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO YOUR FACEOctober 5
today we talked about practicing the LH over and over playing the bass+chord to get the motion automatic, and the jumps memorized. Avoid playing the chord using finger #5 whenever possible, so the jump is shorter. Then apply the melody to the bass+chord you just practiced. |

Excellent application of the bass-chords for the entire song. 9/21 UPDATE I have created this exercise for you to practice the application of bass+chords to "Getting to Know You" following the steps: 1- Just play melody on the RH and block chords on the LH 2- LH now will break the block chords into bass + chord. No octave lower necessary. As simple as possible 3- LH now will alternate in the bass the -I- and the -V- to bring more variety to the bass line. All these examples are included in the score here on the right margin. |
