Intermediate Piano Lesson 22

  LESSON 22 INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Heart and Soul:  I added some blues licks to this song.    How do I know which notes to play.  1.  I used the blue notes on C Chord (E flat), and the blue notes on F (A flat).  Then I improvised on the chord.  I used the notes in the chord plus the blue notes and made a melodic, rhythmic passage.  This is called improvisation.  This is just an idea and a practice to getting your fingers in certain positions.  Students ask, how do you know what to play, well you will learn exactly also, just be patient and learn your lessons well. We will study the blues scales and motivic development later so you can improvise also.  For now I hope you have fun with this.

3. E Scale.  Practice each measure 5-10 times or more before moving to the next measure. 

If you like the blues on Heart and Soul, a good thing would be to memorize this song.

There is a lot to practice in this lesson.  Take your time a do a little at each practice session.  You will have 2 weeks to work on the E Scale.
