Welcome to Intermediate Piano Lesson 2!

Building Upon Previous Knowledge

Greetings, music enthusiast! 🎵 In this lesson, we will build upon the skills you've already acquired. We'll dive deeper into using both hands simultaneously, exploring syncopation, and getting more comfortable with sharps and flats. Keep your favorite musical pieces nearby as we might use them to practice sight-reading!

Warm-Up Exercises

Let's start with some light finger exercises to get your hands ready. Remember, practice makes perfect, but overstressing can lead to injuries. Listen to your body, and let's play some scales and arpeggios.

Syncopation Magic

Syncopation involves placing emphasis on normally unaccented beats, creating a delightful musical surprise that can make any piece pop! Practice with a metronome and tap your foot to feel the rhythm fully.

Hands Together Practice

It's time to unite both hands for more complex pieces. Start slowly and make use of the hands-separately technique when deciphering tough parts. This helps in understanding the intricate balance of melodies and harmonies.
