CYMH Green – Minors

 

Hello Minors!

We are hoping to make a video of the Minors playing our version of Ode To Joy as inspired by The Piano Guys’ version. With this in mind, if you a percussion player then use Matt’s videos to learn the appropriate part, otherwise you should be practising the previously covered bass and chord parts (played by Dan on the videos and recorded in the audio tracks below). Playing along with Matt’s new percussion/drum videos will be great practise. If you’re feeling confident you can also record yourself (video) playing your parts by using the videos as a reference (listen on headphones while you play). Otherwise, we will go into more depth next week about how to record your playing.

Also have a go at learning the melody for Ode to Joy by ear from the Piano Guys link on YouTube. Good luck!

– Dan

Hello Minors!

This week Dan and I would like you to continue your research into Beethoven by looking into our case study for the week Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor for solo piano, commonly known as “Für Elise”. This is a really famous piece and I’m sure that you’ll all recognise it, perhaps even have learnt it before.

Dan and I would like you to read the information sheet below that we’ve made before listening to a recording of the tune. There are loads of great recordings of this on Youtube, but here is a good place to start:

We’d also like you to continue to listen to and to learn The Piano Guys recording of Ode to Joy and to revise the Beethoven fact sheet from the first week as there will be a quiz!!

Looking forward to seeing you all in the next live lesson,

Dan and Matt
