Piano Lesson with Sarnia A Toy No. 193 Fitzwilliam Slow Live Performance Free Class ABRSM.
hi guys welcome to the telltaler club now in the united kingdom we do an exam a syllabus called the mabrsm which is a piano examination board and um we have a series of um books that are published every couple of years and we can pick um three of our favorites from three different sections for an examination now um in america i think you can set the exams as well because they've started after covid they've started doing distance examinations and so which is really exciting news means you can do them wherever you are in the world and they're highly highly respected however i really don't necessarily um believe in the uh the necessity to take exams to you know to create a fulfilling musician so i'm not um specifically saying that you should do the exams far from it but what i do really like is structured learning yeah structured learning where you create um goals and habits is the best way to learn a musical instrument um the discipline is by far and away the most advantageous way to develop your musicianship okay so i'm a strong believer in that and for that reason i'm going to do um over the coming couple of months the whole list of grade one jello and piano as well as suzuki i do suzuki and the abrsm jazz and classical syllabuses so we're going to be doing them all so lots of hours in the day we can do this you don't have to do them all what i want you to do is pick um your favorites and you can follow me or if you're particularly um able adventurous or have lots and lots of time to spare then you can pick and choose and do as many as you like these recordings will last forever anyway so the piano exam piece um that we're going to uh have a quick listen to now a little chat about is called a toy um and it is number 193 from the fitzwilliam virginal book volume 2. um obviously a children's book um and this is a i i think it's my favorite um of the a section of the the pieces that we have at our disposal but we've got a massive choice um ahead of us now what i've done is i've slowed it down i'm going to play you this very very slowly and the reason i'm doing it slowly is because it's less frightening and we'll be starting slowly and what i'll be doing is i'll be doing the left and right hand separately for you and then you can play the corresponding hand and i've got a lovely method for teaching um a wonderful all-rounded um way of playing uh piano so it's going to be really great fun for us so let's let's have a quick listen and then and then maybe talk about what i think it can offer

so if you listen carefully you would have heard that there's quite a lot of um sections that are single-handed so we've got a bit in the right and big bit in the left sort of a kind of um not an echo more of a sort of round um and i think that's um that's really that's really good for us because it means um we can be fairly confident because we're sort of learning repeat motifs and repeat patterns it was a piece it was very sweet wasn't it in terms of um almost uh childlike it was quite childlike but a little bit almost verging on a sort of um uh lullaby nursery song but don't forget i've slowed it down i've played it very slowly there and when we speed it up a bit it uh it sounds a bit more playful so it is quite a playful number and let's look at the title it's called a toy so we can see already that um this idea that it could be perhaps could it be a puppet moving its arms and legs or something something animated definitely i guess you know contemporary toys uh animations and things like that might might be quite good to imagine if you're learning this piece look depending on how old you are you're going to have different ideas about what this piece represents if you're a mom or a dad um you might think very differently to if you're five or six for example um the age for anyone doing a grade one um standard piece really would be um...

god's good gifts to man at that time when jehovah made earth in heaven no trees or plants grew on the earth for jehovah had not yet sent the rain and there was no man to till the soil but a mist rose from the earth and watered the ground then jehovah made man out of the dust taken from the ground and breathed into him the breath of life and man became a living being and jehovah planted a garden in eden or in the east and out of the ground he may grow all kinds of trees that are pleasant to look at and good for food also the tree of life and the tree that gives the knowledge of good and evil then jehovah took the man and put him in the garden of eden to till it and to care for it and jehovah gave the band this command you made all you wish from every tree of the garden except from the tree that gives the knowledge of good and evil from this you shall not eat for if you eat from it you shall surely die then jehovah said it is not good for the man to be alone i will make a companion for him so out of the ground jehovah made all the wild beasts and birds and brought them to the man to see what he would name them and whatever he called each living thing that became its name but for the man himself there was found no companion suited to him then jehovah made the man to fall into a deep sleep and while he slept he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh the rib which he had taken from the man jehovah made into a woman and brought her to the man then the man said because she was made for my body she shall be called woman end of chapter 2.
