Allegro Suzuki Piano School book 1 lesson with Sarnia Free Music Classes for Beginners.
hello tale tellers welcome to suzuki book one piano we're going to look at the allegro today but we can actually look at any piece um for this particular class because i'm not going to talk you through the notes or anything hopefully um you can work things out yourself but i'm going to talk about the importance of giving each bit each moment a personality of its own so when you first start a piece of music there are several things you should consider first of all the overall feeling what sort of uh mood has it got what sort of tune is it the um composer's done most of the work for us already they've written allegro which means it's quite it's bit nippy it's quite quick we've got loads and loads of dots on the first line we've got a repeat so we know this first phrase sort of natural phrase is going to be repeated um like an introductory sentence we can look down and we see the dr legato so we're going to play this sweetly and it's tricky to play sweetly quick or quickly sweetly or quickly sweet um but it's all about contrast with music it's always all about contrasts um and then the second line we're coming down we've got a written tender there so we're going to slow down become quieter and there's a sign there that we're going to be quiet and then we're going to um for this rather fabulous uh chord there we're going to we've got a pause on it and then we're back to the general

uh mood um which is flighty i i think it's flighty feels flighty to me our tempo is back to the original tempo look at this piece there's a lot of heavy blackness in the left hand and it that looks how it sounds doesn't it heavy it you've got all these notes piled on you can look at that and you know immediately but just by looking how it's going to sound because it's rather like wearing uh doc martens i think sort of heavy boots all the way and then there's some white uh whiter chords with um uh what have we got um semi braves and we've got that pause the mood would change it would sit um

the note would last you can hear it and now it's getting quieter and there's this lovely pause you can see that just by looking at us all going to happen and then it returns in the third section to the initial mood that we had for the first two line uh the first line sorry well twice you play it twice so the other thing we're going to notice before we've even touched a note is that the first line and the third line look identical

and we're going to be playing it three times which i'll repeat on the the first line now whether or not um you play the repeat is is entirely up to you but i recommend you do play them i think it's an opportunity to learn things better and i think it's an opportunity to um add a bit of flavor and contrast the more notes you've got the more you can be expressive um it's just quite fun isn't it plus you'll get really good at it you might have to practice the legato line a little bit more to make up for that the other thing is when you come to the end of a piece you need to breathe allow the music to breathe as if it's the end okay now we quite often we have an instruction at the end of the score to go back to the beginning and play to a set point but this ends where it ends um so as you're coming to that sort of last section

i would uh definitely get a bit slower and a bit quieter but marginally not too much but you don't want to end on too much of a um let's get going type of uh feeling okay now i'm a digital musician as well as uh an acoustic player and i notice when what i do when i use my computer my digital software i i can put notes in and then i can change the length and the velocity that's the speed at which the hammer comes down on the piano for example i can make a staccato note a bit longer or a lot longer and turn it into a legato note i can affect the volume of each note and actually it i mean...
