then head on over to our website smartclassicalpiano.com start your free
trial and finish this piece ok let's have a listen to what this piece sounds
like morning prayer
and look at the beginning of the starting with the right hand the rhythm
in this piece is quite straightforward so we're gonna leave that to the end or
at least the end of each section of this tutorial ok the piece begins with well
immediately the first thing to notice is the melody is being carried by the upper
voice of the right hand to come out Saturday but that's what your house 21
important part of this making sure that you connect the top note every as much
as possible after it
notice here is Thursday
is going to connect to the a however this finger can't so I'm gonna let go of
everything except for the BB King connect to the leg of the time again
still the is down again lift and connect
this way meaning in the tub voice was being around and that's alright can jump
around that's not where are your is next to both
again
the left hand for these first four bars and one
but not your third finger connect
let go
down
up as you can see I'm doing that so that your thumb reaches the F sharp
comfortably is no contortion
that pretty much covers it so let's have a look at the rhythm the rhythm is
reflected exactly in both hands so there's no at least for these four bars
there is no juggling of rhythm between hands this beads three of the first bar
and be one of the next part 3
three and that pretty much covers it there's this is all strangers quarters
which is true for the left-hand ok so that pretty much covers the first four
bars visit our website to continue this piece I'm gonna go over some of the more
difficult parts of it where you have to juggle some of the rhythms and until
next time I see you guys soon. Take care!
