hi guys so this is the fourth class today for while she happens to watch their vlogs by night i'm going to um we'll just remind you that in the last couple of podcasts we did the right hand the left hand i called out the notes and the left hand is a bit more flexible we can um we can do all sorts of uh wonderful things with the left hand that we wouldn't get away with in the right hand the melody line really doesn't change but we can do all sorts of you know interesting harmonies and um uh root you know um sort of bass lines and uh percussion almost percussive stuff if we want to in the left so feel free to just use this broadcast as a guide really to play your own chords to to improvise with a bit um now the melody i went through in um a couple of podcasts ago and you can i'm going to do this in exactly the same bpm so it's 61 bpm and with my bankruptcy wallet who's our um metronome and we're doing it in perfect time so what you could do i think it's really exciting i'll play the left and you play the right do you see and when i play the right you can play the left i've already done that tonight but um it's just a bit of fun it sort of mixes it up a bit but certainly feel free to improvise or do whatever i'm going to play it through once with bangkok wallop and then i'm going to play um uh who do we have frieda i think on this playing the string section so let's um just uh have a little listen to our metronome get in the groove

two three four one two three

do

okay so um it's quite cool isn't it so what i recommend actually do with that is just you know play along make something up make up some chords see what fits you know um there are a few basic chords that fit with that very nicely so now let's pop frida on

Left Hand Notes Tips While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks By Night Chords Piano Bass

hi tail tellers welcome to while shepherds watch their flocks by night this is our final one for today um for the piano we didn't do any cello classes today so don't worry you haven't missed out and unfortunately i can't get any um i was teaching today so it's a little bit tied up i didn't get any skills practice in for you that's a bit unfortunate i don't like when that happens so i hope you got on with some of the other classes um remember that uh you know we're going through all of the books for all of the examination syllabus um and you know lots of other stuff in between doing jazz and rock and pop and all sorts of exciting things so you can catch up um anyway back to business what have we got here well while ships watch their flocks by night nice and early so that we can practice it and have it ready for christmas it's going to be one of several songs we're going to do we're going to do we three kings of oriental and we wish you a merry christmas and plus some others we're going to be doing some jazz versions some improv um works for musicians pianist perhaps you're a little bit uh a little bit more advanced but this welcome to all this it's not just for little kids it's for big kids as well big kids who are beginners let's say that so the left hand of while shepard's watch if you want to hear my version you'll have to go to the other podcast um but the left hand is is quite straightforward actually there's some rhythm things to think about but we started with two quavers but apart from that it's really quite basic so we've got an a an f and a g and then an a a b an a and an f so it goes like this

right now the only thing you need to concern yourself with which a little bit tricky maybe is this b flat okay so three four five three two on the b flat three four and then up to a c and then we're going to move our fingers down a little because we're going to spread out a bit so i want a three on that g a four on the e a three back on the g so it'll be quite there a four on the e a five on the d and a one on the g and then stretch down again so that really the hardest thing about this is actually moving your fingers around you need to be a bit bit dexterous but of course we're we need to be dexterous to be pianists so you're going to be stretching actually from this topsy to this bottom seam okay so let's do that again

stretch down now

now if you were finding that a bit difficult and you don't have the music in front of you what i'll do is i'll make this um this score the picture on the uh on the um podcast so that you can see the notes okay what um you could do is you could just play around with some chords couldn't you

for example i mean that would be quite a good way of doing things and that's what a lot of musicians especially jazz musicians blues musicians musicians that's all they do so you don't have to learn these notes but if you can learn them it'd be quite good now what i'm going to do is i'm going to call out the notes at the start of each bar so what you could do is you could just play um the chord starting with that root so we start off with a and a g so you could play an an a chord instead of worrying about the notes and you just hold it until we get to the next bar which is a g chord okay i mean it's quite useful isn't it to know that and then and then there's an f so you could um for the whole bar and then there's another f so we maybe mix it up a bit okay and then there's a c and then we're coming up to this b flat so you could do a g minor chord for that that would sound rather good i think and then um was quite a few of those and then back to the g perhaps

that sounds rather good doesn't it um and then we finish on a g uh sorry c a c um no we don't finish on an f so um yeah i mean there we go that sounds rather pretty doesn't it that's just the f and the c...

hi guys so welcome to our well shepherd's watched their flocks by night and we're going to do it with a metronome now the melody only the harmony um refer to it as either and um the the melody is the bit that carries the tune and we all know this really really well so we can play this on any instruments actually um so let's just go straight in and play bang crash wallop with the um the metronome

two three four one two three

okay so if you can join in that would be really good but don't worry if you can't now fruit is going to play um something in the background in f um probably a bit of a scale a bit

two three one two three

okay guys so i'm going to let that run for a bit and so that you can play your own

version

okay how did you get on it's quite lovely isn't it of course you can speed that up when you get a bit better well we're going to do the left hand and i'll do that now actually in a separate podcast the left hand's pretty straightforward actually i think it might be a bit easier because we've only got one um double note to play and that's right at the end for our final chord so do pop back for this uh rendition of while shepard's watched their flocks by night um and that means we've done a whole a whole piece today and work on it really work on it and we'll be doing lots more lots of scales we're doing the f major scale and the arpeggio how exciting my grand piano is about to arrive actually and we'll be doing a lot more because i haven't actually got enough notes on this yamaha and so i've been waiting for this baby ground for quite some time so catch you in a bit

While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks By Night Piano Lesson Free Download.

hello everybody welcome to while shepard's watched their flocks by night may seem a bit early but we haven't got very long till christmas have we it's august already and actually you know you need to spend a month or two perfecting a piece of music when you first learn it especially if you're what uh might be referred to as a newbie or an oldie with a new uh poncho for learning the wonderful wonderful art of playing the piano so this tune is a traditional um it's quite grand it's a bit coral in structure and it uses some very basic elements when i play the right hand you may be able to do a little bit of improvising on the left because this cor this chord structure is is actually very straightforward and you know there's not too much that's too difficult of course learning the notes is is a little bit trickier than sort of making them up as you go along let me play it really slowly

do

okay it's very very straightforward but did you notice we had a couple of right hand chords um well it's two notes you wouldn't really refer to two notes as a chord but of course with stuff going on in the left hand so they very much do construct a chord when um you've got both hands together so i'm going to tell you the names of the notes

f a a g f b flat e and b flat f and a g a c c and f b and f c and d a g c b flat a g third over f another c sharp and an e

a d into g two f's

an e and a finish on a c and an f okay now when i play those two notes and i'm calling out the f and the c or the b and the f if you're struggling just play the second note that i say so the c the b the c um we can do that it's important to play really the top note because that's your melody it's your singing line normally um and that's what makes sense so we can miss out all the other notes we can just play that right hand as a series of single notes without anything else and everybody knows what we're playing you see this it's a very well-known song we don't actually need to do anything else and we could now that we know that we could play that with a backing track and that might be quite fun and i'll be doing that in a minute i'll do i'll pop a little podcast up in a minute um with me playing that with uh with a couple of my couple of my robot pals my uh bang crash wallop will be on drums and maybe some some guitar see if i can get some arpeggios or some scales in the background okay um so should we just go through that one more time

so

okay so i hope you enjoyed that go over and over this recording as many times as you can until you can play along with me that second time and then pop along for the next broadcast where i'll be doing um the right hand with my backing track and that will uh show you how wonderful you can sound with just a few notes um and in one tiny octave actually you could even play that on a children's toy piano take care
