The Ultimate Piano/Keyboard Course from total Beginner to Advanced-10 : Some more advanced songs

1. Introduction: Hi, welcome to P ten of the course series, the ultimate piano keyboard course from total beginner to Advanced. In this course, so in P ten of the series, you will learn some more advanced songs and techniques on the piano. This means that you should already have some knowledge and skills on the piano to be able to follow this course. Actually, you should be able to play simple songs on the piano. Know how chords and scales work, and be able to have at least the basic skills of reading music on the treble and on the Bass clef. So if you're a total beginner on the piano, I recommend to start in part one of this course series. Find a link to P one and to all the other parts of this course series in a description of this course. So you can have a look there to see in which course of this series you should start. Again, for total beginners, this should be part one of the series. The first song in this course is Greensleeves. In this song, you will learn to play with broken cords in the left hand while playing the melody with your right hand. Second song is a blues. This song helps you develop a better coordination between left and right hand, and you will learn how to play with swing feel. The third and last song is the entertainer, and we will do a simplified version, but it will still be quite a challenge to play it at Tempo. I'd like to thank you for your interest in my course, and I hope to see you inside this course or in any other course of this course series. 2. Greensleeves Version 1: Hi and welcome to the course. In order to take full advantage of this course, I recommend you download the resource files that go with this course. To do so, go to the projects and resources tab of this course, and download this file, all the resources part ten dot zip. In this Zip file, you will find all the resources, just unzip it and store it on your computer so that you can use it with the course. Okay, are you ready? Let's start the course. Okay, in the next four lessons, we will do the song Greensleeves. Now, why do we do four lessons for one song? Well, I will build it up slowly. We will start with a simple version, and we will slightly make it more difficult. So we will play four different versions from simple to more complicated. Now, I want you to hear first the final result, which means the result, which you will play in the fourth lesson. So that's as follows. Oh. Okay, so, that's Greensleeves the most difficult version, as we will play it in the fourth lesson. But as I said, we will start simply. The melody in the right hand will stay the same. It's the left hand, it will get more difficult. Let's first look at the right hand. We take the sheet music here, and you can see that in the beginning, there are no sharps or flats, which means that we are either in the key of C major or A minor. Well, I can tell you that in this case, we are in A minor. Now, that would mean that you normally have only white keys. But later in the song, there are some places where we will play some black keys. It consists the F sharp and the G sharp. Now, does that mean that it's not in a minor? No, it's still an A minor. But you can say at certain places, we change a little bit of tonality. And that's just what makes it interesting. Okay, how do we know when to play it? Well, you can see it in the music. We just put a sharp sign before the note. We need to be sharpened. Okay, that was the first thing. The second is that we have a three quarter measure. So that's three counts per measure. The third thing is that we have a pick up measure. You see the beginning. We have only one count in the first measure. So that's a pick up measure. Okay, let's start. Well, you see that a lot of notes are just on the beat. So that's so very difficult. But we have some notes that are not on the count. Now, there's shape, and that's the whole time the same. You can see it here in the sheet music. You see here this shape. So you see a quarter note with a point, which is together 1.5 count, an eighth note, so a half count, and again, a quarter note, one whole count. And this shape occurs the whole time in the song. Once you know how to rhythmically play that shape, then you note for the whole song. So how to count it? Well, you can count one and two, and three. So where to place those three notes? Well, obviously, the first is on the one. So we count one and two. So on the end of two is the second node, and then on three is the third node. Now, if you want, you can also use our system with green and red dots, and you can find it out yourself where to place exactly the nodes in the measure. But you can also count it. So one and two, and three. So on the one, on the end of two, and on the three. So for example, in this measure, it would be one and two, and three. One and two, and three. So with the pick up measure, we will have one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, and three, one, well, et cetera. That's not so very difficult. Think of this shape. Which comes back in the whole song. I would say first the right hand, look at the right hand and try to read with the sheet music. I will first do the first part. One, two, three, That's actually the first part of the song. For the fingering, well, I think the best fingering is just this, one, two, three, four, five, four, three, two, one. F, one, two, 35, one, two, three, one, two, three, three, two, one. Try that several times. And when you can play that. Well, move to the second line. So we ended with our thumb on the G. You could go on with the second finger on the A. So the next melody is I did I A B C, A G sharp, A, B, G E. The first time you played the G sharp and the second time the G. Yeah, the fingering well, when you ended with the thumb finger one on the G in the last line. I said you could go on with finger two, your index finger on the A. You can do several things. What I now did was two, three, four, three, 323, four, two, one. That's one possibility. You could eventually also do, two, three, four, two, one, two, three, two, one. Yeah. It's a possibility, but yeah, the thump on a black key is not an ideal situation. You can, of course. But I think the best one is still this two, three, four, three, three, two, and then with your index finger on the G sharp. But you can use your thumb also. That's the second line. Try it several times. And don't forget that the first time you hit the G sharp and the second time the G. We come back to the third line, which looks like the first line, I don't have to explain that anymore. Then watch out for this line. It's important that we lend with our pinky on the. You can do, for example, two, three, 52, three, 54, two, one, two, three, three, three. It's important that you are with the five on the C so that you can make this movements. Five, four, three, two, one, one on the F sharp, two on the G sharp. The line is we were here. Then we take five That's the whole first part of the song. Now, before explaining the second part, I just want you to do also the left hand. First, be sure that you master the right hand. The left hand in the first part, in this first lesson about green sleeves, will be very simple. We will just play the roots of the C. Now, I put the cord above the sheet music, so you can see also that the roots. Well, I put them also in the staff, with the bass clef. You see that it starts on A, H. Don't start with this A because that's the pick up measure. Start when you play the C, so the first real whole measure that there is in the song. Then on the C, you start to play the A as a root base node. A C G. Let's try that first part. You can of course, try only your left hand. A C G E, and then both hands together. Let's go to the second line. You see that the A is now during two measures. So you can repeat it if you want, but you can also hold the A. And then E. So this second part as simple as just the A and the E with your left hand. Then we're back to this first part. That's again, A in the left hand, C, G E. And then the last line, That's simply A E A in the left hand. That's A E A, and that last A lasts for two measures. That's quite simple. Let me play the whole first part for you. L et's move to the second part. That's as follows. So you see already a little difficulty in in the right hand. Let me explain it. So you play. And you go with your index finger over your thumb to the G. Again, you have this shape, this rhythmic shape. Here it is. For the fingers, it's just five, five, four, three, two, one, and then you go over your thumb and play with two G. Try that several times till you master that. Then you can go on with your third finger on the A. That's simple, three, four, five, three, three, two, three, four, two, one. So try that. Then we go to the third line, which is like the first line. That's exactly the same. Then the last line, which is exactly the same as the last line of the first part. I don't have to explain that. Just try the whole thing to play. Just try first part per part, and then you try the whole second part. Okay, the left hand, the roots of the cords. So we start on C with the left hand now. There's no pick up measure in the second part. So that's the first line. So you play C in the left hand. That's two measures. G, one measure. E, one measure. One more time. Then you can continue with A minor. Two measures. E minor. Also two measures. Let me play from the beginning. And then you actually repeat. You go back to the C in your left hand, G E. Then you have this last line, which is actually exactly the same as the last line of the first part. That's A P A, the last A in your left hand is for two measures. Let me play it again, the first part, I mean the second part, the whole second part. There we go. Okay, that's the whole song. So, when you practice, of course, you start slowly, slowly, you can even start like this. As slow as you need to play, then slightly speed it up. So do line per line. First the first part, then the second part, and then play them together. Okay, I didn't say it, but it's good to practice always with the metroon, but you know that that keeps tempo and you can then slightly speed it up with the metro, just put it a little bit higher and play it again. I see you in the next lure where we take it one level up. 3. Greensleeves version 2: Hi, and welcome back to the second lesson of Greensleeves. Now, as I told you, it will be a little bit more difficult. Well, the right hand stays the same. That's the same for all the four levels that we will do, but the left hand will be a little bit more difficult. Let me first play it for you. Ohh Okay, you saw what I did with my left hand. I played first the whole time the base. Note, the root note of the court. And then I played some other notes. What I actually did was I played the, the whole court, but I broke it up. So ft root, and then I played two other notes of the court. Well, actually try it, I have to say, I played. So first, the A minor tri it. What I did was, I played first the A, and then the other two nodes of the tri it. Always in root position. So A minor C major, g, major E minor. That's the first part. So let me play it with both hands together so that you have an idea of how it sounds. So I play the first beat of the real full measure. I play the C in the right hand, and I start with the A, the root note of the chord in the left hand. I play directly after it, the other notes of the triad. And in the new measure, C. So I start with C, and I break up the court. The other parts come on count two. It's always one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. So the root note is on count one, and the other part of the Cort is on count two, and three. One, two, three, one, two, three. So that's a minor. C. G E minor. That's the first part. So what you should try is first this left hand, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. Now, what makes this a little bit more difficult is not only the fact that you play more notes, but also that you have to jump with your hand. So when you're on the A minor. And then you go see what I do. I actually touch my pedal so that it sounds, my sustained padal. If I wouldn't, it would be like this. So I use my sustained pedal and I leave it down till I play the next chord. And directly, I press it again. Till the next chord. Now I put my foot up and back again down. Then the E minor, I put it up so that the former chord doesn't sound anymore. Directly press it again, so that it sounds. This gives you time to go from one chord to the other. You have to be ready to make the jump with your h to the s, but you have your foot on the sustained pedal, so it keeps sounding. Well, so this gives you the time to jump with your hand to the other root notes. So first try this. So with counting one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. So this is actually your first exercise just to try that left hand. So, count well, one, two, three, pedal in, pedal out and directly in, two, three. When I touch the G, you the pedal and directly press it again. Leave the pedal. When I touch the E, you leave the pedal and directly you press it again. So that the whole cord sounds during the whole measure. That's perhaps an exercise which is in beginning, not so very easy, but when you practice it, it will become easy and see that it really sounds as follows. Then when you can do that, try to combine both hands together. Play it several times. Slowly. If you need it more slowly, then just do it more slowly. Let's go on. A minor. You keep the A two measures. It's Again, a minor E minor. Also two measures of minor. Try that second line. Also, be aware, but you already knew that. First, it's the G sharp, and then it's G. Okay, but you knew that. You knew that already from the last lesson. So try it again. And use the pedal, Pedal in. Now, you can actually leave the pedal because you stay on the same cord. Perhaps a little bit full. You can also choose to do it in two times. Pedal in when you touch again the A, pal pedal right direct in, and then pedal off and press it again. Okay, then, when you can play that, play the two lines together. Well, you play the first line again. That's exactly the same. And then the last line, So A minor. E major this time. So this time you don't play the E minor, but E major. A minor. E major, A minor. You can end with the whole tri, it at once at the first beat of the measure. One, two, three. Also with your pedal. Okay, when you tried that out, that third line, that fourth line, then try the whole first part play to play with two hands together. Actually, you should play it perhaps slower hand. Made a little mistake. Start slowly, and you can then after that. Play it quicker, but let's always like that. Always start slowly, then later, speed it up. Let's move to the second part that starts with a C major chord. That was two times C major, one, two, three, one, two, three, g, major and E minor. Let's try that slowly. Uh uh Don't forget the pedal. It's always the same. Always when you hit the first note, the base note, the root, you hit your pedal. You play the other two notes on the second count. And then when you, this is twice at a C. Then when you go to the G, the moment you hit the G, you leave the pedal, and you directly press it again. When you play the E, you leave the pedal, directly press it again. Oh L et's move on. A minor. You stay on a minor. A minor. You stay on minor. Let's twice a minor, one, two, three, one, two, three, and twice, e minor, one, two, three, one, two, three. Then play the two lines together. Slowly, Then you come back to that first line, exactly the same. G e minor. Then the last line, A minor. E major, A minor twice. A minor E major, A minor, one, two, three. Try that out and then play the whole second part together. Okay, so when you master the second part, part one and part two together. Okay, I wish you lots of success and see you in the next lecture. H 4. Greensleeves version 3: Okay. Are you ready for the third lesson of green sleeves? I hope you managed to play them well the first and the second version. Well, if it's not 100% without errors, it doesn't matter. You can just continue with this third lesson. Now, you saw that in the second lesson, we broke this court in the left hand up. We did this, et cetera, two, three, one, two, three. What we will do in this lesson is break the court even more up. You could do this, of course. But that's breaking up the court even more, so one, two, three, one, two, three. But we will do even something more. We will not only break up the court, but we will spread the court. We will still play on count one always the base note. I mean, the root note of the court. But we will do it as follows. We will I will give you the example of the A minor court. So we play A. Now we play first the E, and then the C here. So you see, I spread the chord out. Perhaps it's not always easy because, well, I have got quite big hands, so I can even play it in once. If you don't have, you can roll it like this, eh? Anyway, you will use your pedal just in the same way as you did in the second lesson. You can just you don't need big hands to play this. But it's a little bit challenging, especially in the beginning when you do that. We don't only break up the Cort, one, two, sorry, one, two, three, one, two, three, this is our second, the C t. You see what I do. Root note fifth and third major third. I don't play this. I play. I spread the chord that gives a much more open, very nice sound. Okay, so let me first explain you this left hand. This right hand is always the same as I told you before. So A minor is this. You can see it, of course, here in the u In the sheet music, A E C, one, two, three, with the pedal, it will be as follows, one, two, three, and sustained pedal, you hear the notes ringing the whole time. Then we do the C cord CG E, that's the second. The G dG, D, B, also nice spread out and g, D, B, then the e cord. We can play it here. E, G, then we have the A minor art to twice. Again, the E minor quart, twice. Then we start again with the A minor, CGG, g, D, B E minor chord, E B, g. Then the last line, A minor A E, C, then we have the E major chord. Watch out. We do it like as follows, E, B, G sharp. It's not so easy. It's quite far. Even for my hands, I can not even reach it with my hands. So you really have to roll it like this with your pedal pressed. And then again, the A minor chord. So I would say you have first to practice a lot this left hand. It's quite challenging, I know, especially because you have to roll this this chords. You see that every ort note of the triad is in it. So instead of what we first played, we played the A minor chord here, well broken. But we had A C and E. Now we have it A E and C. They're still the same nodes, so it's still A minor, but it's nicely spread out. So first, try to play the left hand so all those chords and use the pedal. This is the difficult one. Of course, I played it quite quickly, but you start slowly. Et cetera, when you can play that, Of course, you should try it hands together. Now, do that also line per line very easily very slowly. Start with the first line, you start when you play the C here on the first count of the real full measure, you start to play the A. First try that. Then our the next notes, but we will do that later. Just start stop here and try it over and over again. And again, and you should probably play it even slower than I'm doing it now. This is just to show you how to play it. So when you have done that, then you have the next notes as so this last E minor. There are the next notes that you have to play. So let me do the whole thing again. Sorry. There we go. A minor. You stay on the A minor. E minor. Now, you can also play this line without playing the first line. So we start with those two little notes. And when you can play that second line, you combine it with the first one. And then you can start again with the first line, exactly the same. This last line. Don't forget you have to put your pinky on the C, A minor. G major. A minor. Again, start slowly, even slower. Okay, when you master at all, you play the whole first part. Slowly. Okay, we'll take some exercise before you can play that whole first part. But when you master it, then go to the second part. So the second part C major. We already know that. So the C major, we split it up in the same way as C major we played in the first part. O. G major. Sorry, it was an E minor. So let me do it over. C major. G major. E minor. I I forgot to play the E minor in my first try. So let me do that again. C major. E minor. But let's forget about the two notes, which are the beginning of the next line. So just try that several times. And again, Okay, play that over and over till you master that. And then next line. A minor and you stay on the A minor, then e minor twice. Second time. Let's play that line again. Well, you can also first try that left hand. In this second part, I didn't do the whole left hand part before because it's a bit the same as in the first part. So you might be already a bit used to how to play it. Okay, when you can play those two lines, then play them together. Slowly. Then, we have a third line. Is again the same as the first line? And then the fourth line, don't forget that you need your pinky on the C, A minor E major, A minor. But that last line is exactly the same as the last line of the first part. So that's the whole second part. So after you have tried all the lines separately, left hand, then both hands together, then try to p the whole second part. Oh. And when you master that, then play P one and P two after each other. And then you have reached the th level of green sleeves. So I wish you lots of success, and I see you in the next e where we will play the level of green sleeves. 5. Greensleeves version 4: Okay, are you ready for the final version of green sleeves? This one is a little bit more challenging than the third one. But the principle is a little bit the same. You know, we break up the court, but we do it in a bit another way. We arpeggiate the court in a little bit another way than we did in the third version. Let me first play it for you again. So perhaps you notice that the left hand. In the third version, we did one, two, three, one, two, three. On every beat of the measure, we played a node. Now, we play twice as many nodes with the left hand. So what we do is actually we play the same nodes. Nothing is different on that. But we played like this. Sorry. So we play six notes per measure. So one and two, and three and one and two, and three and one and two, and three and one and two and three, and we use the pedal, by the way, in exactly the same way. So every time at the beginning of the new measure, you have a new pedal session, if I can call it like that. So pedal in one. Sorry, we start with the A minor, pedal in and one and two, and three and when I play the C, I take my foot of the pedal and directly in one and two, and three. And again, when I play the G, I can leave my pedal. And again in one and two and three again, pedal, one and two and three. You have to practice that. Now, well, the pedal movement is exactly the same as in the versions before, so that's not different. But you have to try first that left hand. We start with a minor, one and two and three and one and two, and three and one and two, and three and one and two and three and one and two and three, and one and two and three and one and two, and three and one and two and three. So I did the first two lines there. Let me explain it a little bit more in detail. The orts are exactly the same, and the notes also. So I don't have to explain that again. So you start again with your picku measure. That's the note A. And on the C, you start so again, new measure. So build it up like I do it here, first only the A, A minor cord. Then you can go to the C. Think of coordination between left and right. If it's difficult, then take only this measure. Without pedal, you can hear it better. And then play both together. I will do it without pedal now. Then you go to the third measure, which is the G major cord. And then fourth measure. Again, so. Then the E minor, which are the two notes for the next line. We go to the second line. Stay on the A minor. Then we go to E minor. Here, we play only the three first notes, one and two. And the other notes we leave because we start a new line. This is this same sorry. And then this last line is a little bit different. Sorry, I have to land with my pinky on the sea. Don't forget. This is E major now. That's so. E B G sharp, B G sharp, sorry. And again, A minor. Okay, so play it part for part. You can start with only the left hand first. The try hands together. I will play it slower. I'll pause. Pinky, that's my fault. Now, I speeded it a little bit up. That's not good, so you should actually try it with a metronome. Then you will not speed it up like I just did. So this is the first part. Let's go to the second part. So let me do the first two measures. One more time. To measures of C major. Then we get to get the G major. Then we get the E minor. The difficulty is always, of course, that you have to be ready when you did the first pago. The second one. You have to directly be ready for the G. You have to think already you have to be in your head and with your hands ready after this C major pago to go directly to the G. You have to really practice that. That's why you have to do perhaps only left hand. And directly from this G to this G, and directly to the E. Try to do it in a way that you can play it fluently without, so not in this way. Where am I Oh, yeah. Not in this way. It has to be fluent, so when you come from the C into the G and directly into the E, et cetera. So you have to practice that. So again, let's do it with both hands together. Now we come to the A minor. Stay on the A minor. E minor. Only one time up like this. Then you have the time to come back to the next line. Again, the C. G minor, A minor. Not a difficult one, E major. E, G sharp, G sharp, B tried several times. And then again, with both hands together. Try it again. And again. Well, et cetera. And then you come back to the A minor. So when you have done all these parts, then try to do the whole second part slowly first. Little pause. Okay, try it yourself. Do your best. If you play it with some mistakes, it doesn't matter. And if you cannot make it, if you cannot play it, it doesn't matter. You can just continue with all the other lectures. I wish you lots of success. Oh. 6. C blues theme Swing feel: In this lesson, we will do a Blues theme in the key of C, actually, this is a very good lesson to practice your coordination between left and right hand. Especially if you will want to do the next song, which is the entertainer. You need a very good coordination between left and right hand. This is actually a very good lesson to get prepared to the next song to the entertainer. But first, the C Blues theme. Let me first play it for you. Uh uh D. Oh. That's the C Bruce theme. Let me take the sheet music here, which you can download, of course, in the resources of this lecture. You see that you see different things. First of all, you see this strange sign here at almost at the end, and you see that strange sign occurring even once more here at the very last bar. Now, what does that mean? It means if you want to do another round, then take this ending. If you don't want another round, but you want to go to the ending, then take this last bar, which is written here. Now, if you heard it, well, I played two rounds. The first round, I used this ending. So this last bar here, and I returned to the beginning of the song, and the second time I skipped that measure, but I took instead the very last bar, that ending, and that ends really the song. You can, of course, self decide how many rounds you want to play. Another thing, which is very important is the notion of swing. You see it here right above the first measure of the song. Now what does it mean? Let me explain that to you. You see that the song uses quarter notes, but also a lot of eighth notes. Now, you know, you learned that for eighth notes, you have to count one and two and three and four n. You see we have a four quarter time signature here. So one and two and three and four. Now, if we would count sorry, if we would count like that, one and two and three and four, then the song would sound like this. But if you heard well, when I played the song, it played it sounded differently. This sounds very straight. One and two, and three and four. Now, this swing, which is mentioned above, means that you should play it like this. Instead of one and two, and three and four, the whole time, the same rhtm, ta ta, ta, you play ta, ta ta, ta ta, ta. Actually, when you see a pair of two eighth notes, you could say that the first eighth node is played twice as long as the second eighth note. Now, this is only possible when you played as triplets. Well, you remember that a triplet you notated as follows. Now those are three notes. We're playing only two notes. Well, if you take the middle note out, then you would get this. And that's actually what we're playing. Da, da, da, da, da, da. Now, actually the first note, this is as if both notes would have an equal length. Let me notate this first note as a whole note. Well, watch out, it's a whole note in a triplet. I would note it as follows. A whole note and an eighth note with a three above. It still means that the total duration of those two nodes is still one beat. So don't think that this whole note written here is already one beat plus an eighth beat, which would be 1.5 beat. No. It means both together one beat. So you have to play it with a triplet field. Now, you learned in the lecture about note duration that a triplet, you could count it as triple. Let's triple. Let's triple. Let's triple let the middle so the P. You can leave it out. Triplet. So if I would play it. Instead of That's swing feel. And if you see this notation above the staff, you know that the eighth notes have to be played with a triplet feel. You see sometimes also triplet feel instead of swing, or you see this notation. They all mean the same. It means you have to use swing f. Okay, I think this is enough for this lecture. In the next lecture, I will finally teach you how to play the S Jam blues. See you in the next lecture. Okay. 7. C blues theme Left and right hand: Hi, and welcome back in the second lecture of C Jam Blues. I would say be sure that you have your printed out sheet music with you and the printed out sheet music. You can download the file in the resources of the former lecture. Let's have a look first at the right hand. I will not say the note names because you have them in the sheet music. I suppose that you know now how to read notes. You see that it starts actually with a rest, an eighth rest. Well, let me start with the first notes. It's the E and C, Now, I played it straight, but of course, don't forget, it's a swing rhythm. I will actually to accentuate the rest, play only the first note of the bass clef, which is the C. So that you hear the rest. So I played two first measures. So C, which has we played at beat one with your left hand. I just play it so that you hear that there is a rest in the right hand. So I will play it again a little bit slower. Uh uh You hear clearly the swing rhythm. So don't play it like this. But play it like. Swing rhythm. Okay, I would say, just practice this rhythm. It's very important because it repeats over the whole piece, the same rhythm. So if you have this really under your belt, then you can play the whole song. I mean, rhythmically spoken. So be sure that you can play this. First 2 bars. Play it over and over. Just repeat it. Well, perhaps you should do it slower in the beginning, than I do, like this. G as slow as you needed to be. Actually, we have done the first two measures already. Let me play them again, and I go to the next two measures, which is actually the same, but in F. This is in C you can clearly see I use those node. They're all in the C major scale, and the next f will be the same thing. So those notes, it's the same riff but then played in F. Okay. So first two measures, and I do the next two measures also in F. I just play this first C to accentuate the eighth rest in the right hand. And in F, it's played only once. So now that you know the C part in the F part, play them over and over till you can play them well and also make this jump from C to F with your right hand. So h. Ha ha. Mm. Those are the first 6 bars. I would, if I was you, also play just that first base note this C twice and this F. In the beginning of measure one, three, C, and in measure five, the F, just to accentuate this eighth rest. Play that over and over till we play it well. Then in me what is it seven, we play again the same f in C. Again, So let's play the first 8 bars. So the first 4 bars is the riff twice in C. Then in measure five and six, it's the riff in F and then in seven and 87 and eight, it's again, the same riff in C. So play those first 8 bars. Then from bar nine m, you have the same riff, but now in G. So it's only once. So it's not the whole because the riff was two measures. It's only the first measure. The same as in C and in F, but only the first measure. So again, So if we play the whole thing from the beginning till measure nine, it's Okay, then the tenth bar. You can see by the way, the measure numbers in the beginning of each line. You see measure number five, measure number nine. You don't see it in the first bar because it's obvious that it's measure one. The tenth bar is the as we always play, play, but then in F, and it's the second part of the riff. The second measure of the riff. It's as if you would continue this G riff, which we had in bar nine, that is. Instead of playing the same riff in G, we play it. The tenth bar is rhythmically a continuation of the ninth bar, but not in G, but in F. If I would do bar nine and ten together, it would be I just played the F, I mean, in bar ten, even if it's not a pause, but just to accentuate that it's an F chord. Again, bar nine and ten. Then we have, what is it 11 and 12, which are again, which is again, the same riff, but I in C. It's again it's the whole time the same thing. Let's do it from the beginning. Okay, so play that over and over till you mastered, well. Do it slower in the beginning, of course, than I played it here. So actually, you see that for the two endings, the right hand is almost the same. The only difference is that you hold this last two notes over the whole bar instead of a pa. Okay, so that's actually the whole right hand part. Okay, let's move to the left hand. So what we're doing, actually, let me first play it. The first 2 bars. And this theme actually returns the whole time in the whole song. This time, it's in the key of C. What we're actually doing is so CG A B flat AGE. It's outlining the C dominant seventh art. The C dominant seventh is actually C B flat, there's an extra node, the A. But still we're outlining C dominant seventh. We do that twice. These are the first 2 bars. We do it again for bar three and four. So actually, you should try that over and over till you get it in your hands, this feeling because it's repeating the whole time in this blue scheme, so it's good to really master that well get the feeling. So over and over. Might do it slower if you need to. Over and over, over and over. Well, et cetera. Well, you get the point. Just practice it till you play that well. Then after playing bars one, two, three, and four, which is two times up and down, you play actually the same thing, but then in F. I bar five and six, it's the F dominant seven, what you actually play. So So same thing, but then in F. After you try that several times. It's exactly the same feeling as the thing in C. So if you can play it in C, you can also play it in F. Then make the jump. So do the first six measures. First two times in C and one time in F. First time. Now, second time. F. Only one. Those are the first six measures. Eventually, if you have big enough hands, you could link the two together. If you come from the C part, you can tie them together, but it's a very big jump with finger three on the E, and then you have to go with your pinky to the F. I think that for most of you, it's not possible. If you make a jump, it doesn't matter. After the F part. This part. Then you go to the C part. To tie them nice together, you can first play it with your thumb, then with your middle finger, et cetera. Only one time up and down. So practice that several times going from the F. To the sea. Thump, middle finger. I practice it several times. Thump After that, you play the G seven chord. If you have big enough hands, you can tie them together, but it's a big jump. You can also make the jump just like this. It's only one measure, so we only have four nodes, we do only the four nodes, G B, D, and E. Then there's the F. But we don't We do something else. Watch out. What we do is F, A, B flat, B, and look at fingering five, four, three, two. Good point to do the whole left hand part till now. Twice up and down, C, up and down F, one up and down C, one up F, and then this riff in G. There we go. Okay, after that, you have you go to the sea with your thump. E with finger four with your ring finger, F F sharp, and the next measure is G G, A B. Perhaps it's good to practice just the last 4 bars to link them nicely together. Bars nine, ten, 11, and 12. We start the G R then. So try that a few times. Alright, that's a little bit different than all the other parts. Then play the whole thing. Uh And to continue. So that means going back to the beginning, if you play a next round, you would then hit first the s with your thump and go over with your middle finger and play it as you to do. Etcetera. So perhaps you so that also. When you do this measure measure number, what is it 12, thumb middle finger. Also try to make disconnection between the last bar and the first bar. Do that also several times, then you can make the whole round. Let me also practice with you the very last bar if you want to end the song. The measure just before that strange sign, measure 11. W B, where are we? We came from we have the C with the thump. We also go to G, and then G C. Be aware of the rhythm. It's like this. Let me do from this C. We were thump on the s. That's left hand. I think we have everything. In the next lecture, we're going to play both hands together. 8. C blues theme Both hands together: When you know very well the left and the right hand part, it's time to play both hands together. This might be a little bit challenging in the beginning. But that's where these lessons are for. For your coordination between left and right hand, which is very important when you play the piano. Let me first concentrate on the very first measure. It sounds as follows. Okay, so I will even break this first measure up so that you can get the rhythm in your hands. So you start. I will do it very slowly. We start with the left hand head because the right hand has this eighth measure. And directly after. So the next eighth measure is this Don't forget the triplet feeling head. Tata Tata Tata Tata very important. So That's the next note. So try just those three hits on the piano. And don't forget this swing feel. And you can then actually also take the fourth note. Do that over and over. Tata swing field, Tata Tata. You hear it. Okay. So practice that a few times. Then go to the next note. Sorry. The G not the A. So add more notes so that you slightly build it up. And then you can take the last note. And think of that swing f ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta. And try it over. And over. That's the first measure. Try it again and again till you have really this rhythm and this coordination between left and right hand in both hands. Then we're going to first and second measure. First measure again. So this second measure, think of ta ta ta ta, the left hand is straight on the beat one, two, three, four, so one, two, three, four, and the right hand does the swing feel? All right, otherwise, build it up. So ta ta, ta, ta ta ta. Then extra nodes. Then even an extra node. And then this G comes after this? Try it several times. And again. And again. Then link the first two measures together. And again. And you might repeat it. And again. I play it many times, even if it's not in this song, but just to repeat it, just to get this feeling in your hands. If you can play this, you can actually play the whole song because this rhythmic pattern is the whole time the same in this song. There we go. We go to link it with measures five and six. One more time. Now, watch out. We have to make a jump with left and with right. So from where are we we did this. This one is actually a pause, so you can already prepare your right hand for the F part. The left hand is on the E, so it has to stay the fourth beat, so you have to be ready already for the first beat to play the F. So that's more difficult. But if you practice well the left hand, it shouldn't be a problem. So from this last measure, so be sure to practice that jump. So I will do measure three, four, and go on with measure five. I made a little mistake there. And then you can also take measure six, of course. Once you are in measure five, then measure six is not difficult anymore because it's the same shape as we did in the C part. Okay, let's play measure one t six. Slowly in the beginning. Sorry, the fingering was right. Oh Okay. So practice that over and over slowly first, and you can later speed it up. Then we are on on the A with our middle finger. Remember the next note is the C with our thumb. And then, you know, from the left hand part in the former lure. So you still this last measure. This one you can prepare for the C part. And then exactly the same as before. Only difficulty is that you have to make the jump from the F back to the C and that you have to go from C with your thumb over your thumb with your middle finger to the E and the rest is the same. Practice to link that to back. We have done measure 18. When we're at the end of measure eight, Then prepare yourself to go to the G part at here. We start with our left hand because there's eighth rest in the right hand. Same shape as before, but only one measure. So that shouldn't be a problem because you know how to play this shape. So go again from measure eight to measure nine ten to measure ten, which is the F. It's not a big jump. It's only from here to here. So from measure nine. And then I should be on finger with finger four here. H so let me do it again. F measure nine. So practice that several times. And then you go with your thumb on C. So be prepared to go from the F part to the C part. So well, it's the same shape in your right hand. Only the left hand is a little bit different because you have don't forget to put your finger four on the E. And then you have the last measure. Practice it several times with the right hand, of course. And then link it back to the begin to the beginning. Now, you have the whole song. Build it up part by part, little by little, first two parts, then 4 bars, the bar five, then bar six, and add every time one or 2 bars, you come till the end, then link the end to a new round to the beginning. Then also practice, the end. So this So till the real ending, h? So that was the then both hands together. I will do it slowly. I didn't start on finger three here, so let me do it over. Finger one, I mean. I be sure that the A comes with the low G. So the last measure is. Try that several times. And then try to link measure 11 with that very last measure. So that's the When you can play that, you can play the whole song. So let me play it again for you. Uh uh uh Okay, this was the C m Blues. So if you practice it well, then you have a good let right hand coordination, and you can move on to the next song, the entertainer. See you in the next lecture. 9. The Entertainer Introduction: Hi, and welcome to the first lesson of the song, the entertainer from Scott Joplin. We play a simplified version of this song. This is not the original version. Now, even if this is a simplified version, it's still quite difficult to play. It's very challenging. So yes, I would say, try it if you're not able to play everything correctly without mistakes. It doesn't matter at all. It's like always. You can always come back to the song later when you feel ready for it. Let me first just play it for you. M. Okay, so you see, it's a very nice song, but as I said, a very challenging. Okay, I will in this lesson, not start to teach you how to play it. That will be in the next lesson. But we will look at the sheet music, because there's a lot to say about the sheet music. So let me take the sheet. As I said, there's a lot to say about it. We start with those numbers here at the beginning of a line of staff. You see here the number five and on the next line, number eight. What does it mean? Well, it's the measure number. You see the first four measures are the first line. Then the next line starts with measure number 5567. Then we have measure number eight, eight, nine, ten, and then we come measure number 11, et cetera. You see other numbers here above the notes. They're just finger positions. Well, why did I put finger numbers here in the staff? Well, it's just to help you to find the right finger positions. Now, you don't have to take these finger positions. They're just a proposition. You can take whatever you want. But I would say if in a staff, you see finger numbers, they're mostly correct finger numbers, the right ones for you to play it in a comfortable way. Another thing you can see in this staff is that at some nodes, there's a little point under or above the node. Now, this means Staccato, Staccato is Italian, and it means that the node is only played very shortly. So I will play it, for example, not like this. But like this, short. Then you see here at the beginning of this staff, an F. Now, F means forte and in Italian, that means played loudly. So you play it loud. You see a p here. The P means piano. Yeah, you will say, hey, piano. Yeah, I play piano. And so what? Well, piano in Italian, it means softly, so not loud. So forte loud, piano, No loud. You can even have two F or two ps. Well, two F means even louder than loud, and two Ps means really very at a very low level. Then you see this sign here. It means that the volume has to go up. Well, you see it's just before a forte sign. So it means that from the piano part, so the low part, you increase the volume to get to the forte part part where the music is loud. Then you see here this line with an eight. This means Al tava that's also Italian. And it means at the octave. And for your piano playing, it means that you have to play this part, an octave up. So an octave higher. Now, why is this? Well, you can imagine that if you have to play very high nodes, then well, you need a lot of ledger lines, and it becomes unreadable. Now, you see that here, there are already quite a lot of ledger lines. Well, you want even more. Well, it becomes very difficult to see which node you have actually to play. So that's why we have this line. Play it an octave up. Then to finish, we have those three signs here. You see this symbol here. You see the word fine. We saw it before. It means end, and you see here d S Alpine. It means da sgno Alpine, and it actually means from sine to end. Sine is that symbol that we saw before. So actually, what do you have to do? You start just at the beginning. You play the whole thing, so the two pages, to you see the sgn Alpine. Then you go back to the sign Sega and play till you see the word Pine, which means end. And then it's the end of the song. So let me just play it once more for you. This time you will not see me playing it because I will leave the sheet music for you, and you can follow it so that you see how the form exactly is. Oh. Okay. Before we go on, I'd like to talk about those two measures here around the word pene. There's something strange with those two measures. Let's have a look. When we look at the first measure, the measure before the word pene, let's look how many beats it has. You see a half node, which is two beats, and an eighth note, which is half a beat. Together, that's 2.5 beat. Now, this piece is in four quarter time, you would expect four beats. Let's have a look at the measure that comes right after the word pene. It has three eighth nodes, which means 1.5 beat. This is also not a full measure. But when you take those two measures, the measure before the word pene, which has 2.5 beats, and the measure that comes after the word pene, which has 1.5 beats. If you take those two measures together, you have exactly four beats. So what happens here? Actually, those two measures belong to the same measure. It's one and the same measure. Now, the measure is divided in two just because the end of the song is in the middle of the measure. Actually, those two together are one and the same measure. Okay, so that's it about the sheet music. It was quite a lot of things. In the next lecture, we're going to start to play the entertainer. 10. The Entertainer part 1A: After the introduction lesson, we're finally starting to play the entertainer. We will start with the first part. So be sure to have your printed out sheet music with you. Now, we will start with the very first line, which is only the right hand without the last little note, there's also left hand. Now, we have one little problem here, and that is that the two or three first notes are not displayed on the piano because the virtual piano doesn't go higher than this high C, and we're going to play the D and D E. You don't see them now, but you can hear them. But the form, we actually play this. You see only the last part of what I play. But it's the same thing as here. Only played up an octave hire. So you will see it here, what I do. It's exactly the same. So this very first line, it starts out. Perhaps it's a little bit difficult to read because of the ledger lines, but it's exactly the same as the second one. Now, this second one. Remember, there is an tava over those nodes, that means everything is played up an octave higher. And this third line is exactly the same. Well, almost the same. Well, you see, I didn't play it in the right tempo. Let me play it again. So that's the little eighth notes that are there. Be sure there are some eighth notes which are tied together, so they're actually a whole note. It's This is two eighth notes tied together. That's a whole note. This last note, this Staccato is actually also a whole note. But you, very shortly because it's a Staccato. Exactly the same here. Two times as long. L ast one is scato here, this one is exactly is also one whole beat two eighth notes. That's also Secato. Then as you can see, there is a rest of a whole note, and then you play also Secato. So let me play the whole thing again. Don't forget the rest. So that's the very first line. Try that over and over till you master that well. And then the next line begins. It starts in the last measure of this first line. So what are we doing? But let me first start with only the right hand. So what are we doing? First, this. I will not tell the note names now because you can see them in the sheet music. Be aware how so you do figure one, two, one as written in the sheet music. One, two, one. And then we go on again with one here on the sea. So Yeah, how do you go on with the fingering? I did one time this. You can also do so be sure to start with the one here. So that's the whole line. Let's replay it again. And I played here, one, two, three, four, one, two, three. You can also do one, two, three, four, one, 24. It's as you want. And then one, two, one. Okay, so when you can play this, When you can play that first line, we can go to the second line. It starts in the same way. After that, you don't go with finger one to the C, but you go with finger two on the A. One, two, one. Two, one, two, one, three, five, four, three, one, three, or four, doesn't matter. I think that four is the best. When you can play that, then the first two lines together. Okay, D, the third line. Exactly the same as the first line. So I don't have to explain that anymore. Okay, when you can play those three lines, then play them together. Now, I played them quite quickly. Of course, you played them much slower. Et cetera. Okay, the next and last line of this first part is as follows. This one is twice as long. Twice as long also. Twice as long. Are almost all eight notes, but there are some eight notes which makes together one quarter note. I will repeat this line. This one are still the two notes of this last measure measure number seen. Then the new measure starts. Okay. So when you can play that, start from the beginning. And with the beginning, I mean this on this D. And it is not this high part. A Okay. And of course, yes, I said starting here on the d, but you shod, of course, also, after practicing this, also start with this very, very first line. So this I did now only the right hand, but you can eventually Also do the left hand. And then first do the right hand. Et cetera. Okay, so be aware that you have to be very careful with the fingering here, especially when you are here on this part, where you do the second time. Be sure that you really do the two, one, two, one, three, five. Because if you don't, you will get lost, if you're doing, for example. And then you do. Yeah, it's also possible. But, the thumb on a black key is not an ideal situation. I told it many times. So it's better to really do this. Okay. So that's the right hand. So we have to start now with the left hand. So you have to be well coordinated between both hands. But let me first do on the left hand. So I will start with this where we play in the right hand this. So you start where you play those two little notes. You play G and B. Okay. But I will do only the left hand, so it's L et me first do this. So I I will do it very slowly. Let me do the next part also. That's this whole first line. Do it slowly. You can watch my fingering, but perhaps you want another fingering. I do this. I take the C with my pinky, number five. Two and one. Then here I use four, but you could eventually also use the five and then three and one. I prefer this. Again, the four. Then you have to make a little jump here. I will do it again. Be sure that you have this f, this index finger here, because if you end with here, you have to make a jump to the set. That's not good. And then Okay, try that several times. I will play it one time quickly, but you start slowly. U That's the first line. Second line. It looks a bit the same. So we start with the last notes on measure eight. It's exactly the same. But then you have to be with your middle finger on the E. And you can with finger, go with finger four on the E flat. So that you have finger five on the D. Three, four, five. Then Okay, so and then there are three notes, but I will talk about that later. So again, three, 45. Ah, try it again. 345. So try that several times. After this last GB, you see there are those three little nodes. And then the new line starts. It's best to take it with those three fingers, three, two, one, because then we can take with finger four the C on the next line. Let me now do this line with those three extra nodes. Well, four, I take the C of the next line. It is three, four, 53, two, one, four. That's very important that you get the finger positions right here. Let me try that again. You also tried it over and over, you do it, very slowly, til you master it really until you have the fingering really correctly because here the fingering is really very important so that you don't get lost, and like I told you before, if you end on this B and you have to go to the C, you're not prepared with your thumb on the B, you really have to be with your index finger on the B, for example. Okay. Let me do one more time this last line. Well, second line. Sorry. See, I also make mistakes. Three, four, 53, two, one, four. Okay. Be sure that you can do that. Then you can do both lines together. Linked them both together. So I start in the beginning. Oh. A Okay. So we ended on this C. So let's start from there. And that's exactly the same as the first line. So, now try them all three together. Ohh Okay, this last part is actually easier. There are half notes, as you see. It's just Okay. Only the last three notes are not half notes. So yeah, it's easy. I will not repeat it 100 times. One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two. Okay, try that. And then do the whole left hand part together. So all the four lines. And that's the whole left hand part of the first part. 11. The Entertainer part 1B: So now that you can play both left hand and right hand, let's try to play it together. Now, to play both hands together, you need good coordination between both hands, and that's not always easy. So let's start very slowly. Now we will start with this very, very first line. Let me call this intro. So So you start over and over til you play that well. Well, now, of course, there's not much needed for both hands together because it's only this last this one. But it's still important that you know well how to play it. So just try it. Okay, I will not spend too much time on that one because it's only one thing that is both hands together. So let's move to the next line, which I will call the first line of the song. And let me first play it slowly for you. And I will stop here now. Let's first try to play just this little part. And try it again. I'll do it over and over till you till you can play that well. And then we will link it to the next part to the second part of this first line. So I will start again with the beginning. Don't forget to go with your thump to the sea. So as follows. I'll play that over and over till you can play it well. I will do it even slower. Okay, that's the first line. Be sure you can play it well. We move to the next line, the second line, which starts in exactly the same way. And now, be sure that you use your third finger on the E and your second finger on the A. Sorry. Let me do that over. So we do this. Third finger. And I didn't do the notes of the next line, but I did already this notes in the base. So again, very slowly. Watch the fingering. Okay. I also try that over and over. And when you master that, well, link both together. So the first and the second line. Okay, when you can do that, so both lines together, then go to the third line. So we ended here. And with the B in the left hand, you start with the D in your right hand, D and D sharp, and when you hit the C, you are on the E with your right hand. So So actually, that third line is exactly like the first line without the beginning. The beginning is a little bit different. So that's where you should focus on now. Okay, so when you know how to play the third line. So with this beginning, then play the first three lines together. A Okay, now, when you came to this point, you're almost there. You almost did the whole first part of the entertainer. So let's move to the last line. Okay. This one is less difficult because in the left hand, you do half notes. Two beats at a time without the last three notes. But for the rest, it's only half notes. So let me do it again. And you see that when I played the second E, D, first I hit that E, and then I go to the next. Same in the next measure. Here we hit them at the beginning of the measure both at the same time. And then first that E, and then the next chord. Let me first from the beginning of the first line. First, then the next chord. First the E and then the next chord. First the E and then the G. Let me do the whole line again, a little bit slower. Okay, you also start slowly, and then you can speed it up a little bit. When you know them all how to play, then link the four lines together. O. Sorry. So try to link the four lines together. Okay. Now, you know how to play the four lines together. Let's to everything from the beginning. So, including the intro. So you see that directly from this. You have to jump to here. If that's difficult, then just try it several times. Or try it with the last part of the intro. And try that several times. Et c. Let me try it slowly the whole first part of the entertainer. There we go. A Now, when you can play that, then also be sure that you pay attention to the places where you have to play. So in the places where you have to play piano. So. So this first part is. Also, this is loud. And then you start on us very softly. And then you make it louder. Again, softly. And That's again loud. Be sure to make these differences in dynamics. So start, No loud. And again, so this last part loud, then again. That was again loud, again, not loud. Et cetera. Okay, I would say, do your best. It's not easy. You'll have to practice a lot. But when you can play this first part, then we will move to the second part. A 12. The Entertainer part 2A: And welcome to the second part of the entertainer. So let's directly dive into it. We start with the right hand. It starts as follows. Let's do first this little line. We start on the E with finger one. You see that also in the sheet music. This one, the G is twice as long as the others. It's two eighth notes tied together. And the second time, you have to hit the G with your first finger with the thumb. When you do this line the second time, then you go with your thumb on the G. We continue. Whoa, that's a whole lot of notes. Perhaps I should break it up. Let me start with the beginning. Okay, T here, then that's the first line. Then we get. That very simple EG. Then with finger, three. When you are on the G, then, one, three, and we go on. Okay. Yeah, as I said, a whole lot of notes. Let me come back from this part. We you do the three, one, three. Here you make a jump. Be sure to take finger two here on the G, and then you can take finger one on the E. Okay, let me do the whole part again. Finger 131, three, two, one. Try it yourself several times. It's a lot of notes, so be sure that you hit them all well. 131, three, two, one. And then it goes on. We are on the G. E do the same thing. Second time on one. Let me when we have done this. See, now, I do it myself. Three, one, three. Then with finger, one like before. Okay, what did I do here? So when I do for the second time, when I go with my finger one here, one here. And then Okay. Totally from the beginning. One, three, one, three. One. Then from this G, we go actually, we do the whole time the same thing. We do again. Again on one. H Now you go with two on the A, and one on the B. That's different because the first time when you had this theme, E, G, you went with finger 33. Now it's different. It's E, G, two, one, et cetera. Be aware that two times when you come from this theme, that it's different. The first time is three, one, three, and the second time is two, one And then after that, you get so one, two, one, Let me do that again. Two, 35. One, two, 35. Okay, let me do this last part again. Sorry. One, two, three, five, three, two. One. Okay. Let me do it from the beginning slowly. 03, one, three. One. And again, one. Two, one. One, two, 35, three, two, one. That's the whole second part of the entertainer, the right hand. Try it over and over first part per part, and then the whole second part of the entertainer. When you master that well, you go to the left hand. And the left hand, you can see in the sheet music, it does this. You have to make a jump. So you have to get used to making that jump with your hand. It has to be in your hands. You have really to get used to this movement. Otherwise, you will hit the wrong note you will go or something like that. So be sure that you get this in your hand. You can do it the whole time. Just practice this. Because this is the whole time returning in the left hand. In this part, I made a little mistake. So when you master this well, then let's see how actually the left hand goes. So it starts indeed with this theme two times. So those are the two first measures. Okay, so this theme, you do that two times. After that, you get this. After two times, you get F with a F with A flat. That's actually F d and the F minor chord. Then with GC, that's actually the C tri. And then D with G B, which is actually the G tri. After You do this. Try that a few times. Then again, you get the same thing, but not as long. You get this the one time. And then one more time, this. Then, you go with finger three on the E, finger four on the E flat and finger five. On the D, it looks a bit like the first part. We had the same shape here, three, four, five. So, three, four, five, with the G B and then with the F sharp A. One more time. And then you do. And then this starts again. But let me first do from the beginning tell where we are now. So, this we have till now. And then, yeah, it starts again. It's the whole time the same thing. Two times. And then, same thing again. Then, you do. So so after this, We do twice this. Again, the F. F minor. Then you do. Okay. Let me play from the beginning. Then we get M those two measures. That's F AC, what is the F or F triad. Only thing change is the F becomes an F sharp, two times two times this cord. Yeah, what is it? It's d dominant seventh. But without a D. Then C tri fo times again. And then the last two measures D with F sharp C and two times GB. And then last measure. And yeah, actually, you have still the G and the B. But that's actually the start of a new line which goes to you see Ds Segno Alpine, so you have to go to Seg to that sign. So that's already looks a bit like a pick up measure to the next line. So what have we got? Let me play the whole left hand part of the second part of the entertainer. There we go. Okay, so this is right hand and left hand, practice it well. After that, we will play both hands together. Y 13. The Entertainer part 2B: So did you practice well, the left and the right hand? Well, then you're ready to play both hands together. Let's start. Let's start with the very first little line. I do only a very little part. Only this little part. So just get used to the coordination of left and right hand, left hand, this jump and the right hand, this little line. And do it over and over. Till you master it well. And then you can continue second time with your thump. And so then the two little lines here with your right hand. And then try those two together. Of course, slower than what I just did for the beginning. Always start slowly, you know? So well, just do it a few times. So when you can play that, you get the next line. Three, one, three. Let's try those little lines together. Slowly. Now I make the same mistake. I should be with one on the B, and three on the C. Let's start over again. A till here and do it once more. And then you continue. Okay. So again, from the beginning, And then, actually, you start again with yeah, the same thing. And, with the thump pier here. So, let's try this last part. I'll try that several times till you can play it well. And then you go on. Exactly the same thing. Watch out. This was a bit the same as the first part. Now you go with finger two here. Okay, will play from the beginning. I will do it very slowly so that you can see what I'm doing. And then you continue. So, we have where where we. So Well, let me play that a few times so that you can see how it works. More time. And then the last part. So that's, you can also break it up in pieces. Try first. Then And then. M Okay, yeah, let me play the whole second part. So, look, well, I will play it slowly. And well, that's actually the whole song there now. Okay. Watch out. We begin. Oh. Okay, now, of course, you break it up in pieces. Like I did, you go every time a little bit further. So piece, then seconds, then first and second together, T, then one, two, three, et cetera, you build it. You slowly in the beginning and slightly increase the tempo as alas. Okay, so we have done all the parts of the entertainer. First part, now the second part, both hands together. Well, the last thing is to link all the parts together. So let's do that. So let's talk about how to link the different parts together. Well, you know, in part one, we have talked already about this line. That it has to go very quick from the you have to be I told it already some videos ago. But as we are talking now about linking parts together, I wanted to remind you of this You have really to do this very quickly. Et cetera. Okay. Linking part one, the end of P one and the beginning of P two together. So let's see what the end of Part one was. That was Now you see you go directly into part two. I will do it one more time, perhaps a little bit slower. Et cetera. So try that several times so that you can so that you can link part one and part two together. I'll do it one more time a little bit quicker. Et cetera. Try it several times so that you can link them together. Well, I say it for a second time now. Then try to play P one and P two. Okay, at the end of P two, there where the sign Dan Alpine is. You have to link that with the sgn sign in part one. So let's look at that. So we came from this part. And you go directly on to the segnal part in part two. So let's try that once more, so the end of Part two. Et cetera. I will do it a little bit quicker. Et cetera. So you try that also a few times. When you have done that, then you link P one, P two, and the last little part from the sgo sign on till you see the word e, then you've done the whole song. Okay, let's listen and see how it all looks together. Oh. So, that was the whole song, the entertainer. Congratulations. You made it till here. Perhaps not without mistakes, but it doesn't matter. When you practice it, it will get better and better. T
