Lesson notes. July 1, 2025.

  • SIGHTREADING. KOHLER 190. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 
    • Número 10: El final tiene digitación incómoda.  Lo guardamos para más tarde
    • Hemos legado al Nr. 12.
  • KOHLER 151. 1 On reserve
  • SIGHTREADING. CHORDS. Añade la mano izquierda a los acordes de la mano derecha
  • SCHUBERT Lv-6. Seguimos en el mismo estado que la última clase.  Necesita ser tocado para obtener fluidez
  • PEZOLD Lv-2. Next one will be the original
    • Página 1: Lista para avanzar al próximo nivel
    • Página 2: Aún necesita mucho trabajo para subir de nivel
  • Cadences: I - IV - I - V - I in root position and in keys like: C, G, D, A, and F Major. Then we will tackle the minors.
    • Distancias intervalicas
  • C-Jam Blues. MM = 70, 100, 120 watching the yellow.  Hice various intentos de hacer un video-screenshot en el que grabase la pantalla tocando y al mismo tiempo el piano en directo pero no funcionó.  Lo seguiré intentando.

Some theory concepts or review:
Key signatures.

THE ORDER OF SHARPS:
No sharps: C Major or its relative A minor
F# - C# - G# - D# - A# - E# - B#
How to find the key of the piece or the associated scale:
1 sharp: F# = G Major (or its relative E minor)
2 sharps: F#+C# = D Major (relative B minor)
3 sharps: F#+C#+G# = A Major (relative F# minor)
4 sharps: F#+C#+G#+D# = E Major (relative C# minor)
5 sharps: F#+C#+G#+D#+A# = B Major (relative G# minor)​
THE ORDER OF FLATS:
No flats: C Major or its relative A minor
Bb - Eb - Ab - Db - Gb - Cb - Fb
​How to find the key of the piece or the associated scale:
​1 flat: Bb = F Major (or relative D minor)
2 flats: Bb+Eb = Bb Major (relative G minor)
3 flats: Bb+Eb+Ab = Eb Major (relative C minor)
4 flats: Bb+Eb+Ab+Db = Ab Major (relative F minor)
5 flats: Bb+Eb+Ab+Db+Gb = Db Major (relative Bb minor)
How do you know if the key signature is the Major or the relative minor:
  1. Look at the final chord of the piece.  What chord is it?
  2. Looking at the same chord, which is the lowest note played on the bass (LH lowest note)

ESCALAS. Levine nivel 2, transcritas por Gabriel en cada tonalidad

​2025. ENERO 29. Do Mayor.
Estas escalas son del sistema de Levine, pero en lugar de usar el modelo de Do Mayor para todas las tonalidades, te iré poniendo aquí los modelos para cada tonalidad.
Las tienes que practicar con metrónomo.  Despacio está bien. Ideal es el modelo que he grabado.

IMPROVISATION

TRADICIONAL
Hicimos una improvisación relajada en la que simplemente tocas LH (la-mi) RH (la-mi) y lo repites varias veces.  Entonces gradualmente vas cambiando una nota cada varias repeticiones y creando otras combinaciones.
Con pedal.  El pedal cambia cada vez que añades una nota nueva.
