Welcome to the Wednesday Night Music Club. Tonight's featured performance is by Alessandro Deljavan. Visit my YouTube channels to see the pig roast, apple pie, Sangria and my Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-640. Watch the video productions of this music episode on my YouTube channels: Sangriame Tonight and Music4Dad. Bon Appetit!! Thanks for listening.

Start here. Purchase music books that match your level as a student. Highly recommended books are by John Schaum, John Thompson, Lee Davis Watch & Learn Keyboard Primers for Beginners. Also, Roger Evan's book "How to Read Music". Examine the details of each song and/or exercise from the key signature, phrasing, left hand, accidentals and dynamics. Composers use dynamics from soft to loud to indicate to the performer how their music is to sound.

Designate a specific time of day to sight read and play. Sight reading means reading the notes without playing. Pick a song you're working on or would like to learn. Believe in yourself. Begin each session with a positive mindset and dig in for at least 40 minutes. Over time progress will be yours and you'll be happy with the results.

In this podcast, the pre-recorded digital song played is from my Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-640 electronic keyboard. Thanks for listening.

This is a test. Thanks for listening.

Tonight, tonight, it all began tonight ... Leonard Bernstein for West Side Story.
