January 13 Lesson Notes

Try to learn The Bubble in a week

Ear Exercises
– note find
> without you looking at the keyboard, have someone play a note on the piano between bass-c and treble-c
> go back to the keyboard and try to find that note (you can try to play some other notes to check)

– use your ear to figure out Happy Birthday starting on each unique key on the piano
(there are 12 in total – 7 white keys and 5 black keys)
> finished notes – C, G

Scales
– good work!
– practice Hands Together for 1 octave
– practice Hands Separately for 2 octaves
– practice playing a-blues scale with a steady rhythm

C+ Triad
– practice broken and solid
– for broken, keep track of which position you’re playing – don’t skip notes
– check fingering

Start practicing C+ Arpeggio
– same notes as the triad but only played once as you travel up
> C-E-G-C-E-G-C = 2 octaves
