hello tail tellers welcome to another wonderful wonderful suzuki free class from the uh tale teller club also if if you just want all the lessons in the classes you can go to my other podcast of course which is the performing arts free school but if if you're happy with this one we've got lots of stories and things like that as well and it's a bit more broad i suppose so we're going to look at the second study for right hand today and it's really exciting because we're doing this thing right where we're going all the way up and all the way back down and it's just it really makes you feel like you've almost done a complete song so it's it's very exciting um everyone's welcome to these classes by the way um they're directed really for children which is why i talk very simply but if you're grown up you are welcome too and you must um just concentrate and don't be distracted by adult things um like you know the laundry and stuff like that so claudine would you play um a c major arpeggio please now the reason i'm asking claudine to play c major is because the piece is in c major and it's really useful for us to hear what c major sounds like as we're playing and we're all about really improving our ears here at telltale club we're doing lots of jazz improv and stuff like that too um but this glass is specifically for the suzuki method actually do you know what is really useful for everybody and what's so great about suzuki method is they tell you the names uh they tell you the fingering so it's quite hard to go wrong and there's also a lot of repeating of the same note so it's really good for adults and children actually um so everybody's welcome so let's have a look now i told you the other day or yeah or earlier today about the big scrolly treble clef which means we're on the right side of the piano from from about middle c we're actually going to start on this seat today you can see it's it's quite a long way from middle c a whole eight notes up um it's common time that's what that c means every always always when you're reading music it's a bit the same bit like uh reading aloud always peruse the sentence ahead of you so that you know what's coming and do not rush this is key to reading music there's no need to rush until the performance and even um seasoned professionals do not practice at full speed until the very end okay so we're gonna keep this nice and slow for now obviously you would want to speed up when you start to get really really good but we're not really good yet so why speed up why rush such a wonderful thing and we're going to be playing these notes the c the d the e the f the g the f e the d the c can you do that let's see the d the either f the g the f e the d the c fabulous and we're going to be using the one two three four five four three two one fingers the one two three four five four three two one fingers nothing too difficult but what's really exciting is we're starting on a c we're going all the way up to the g and we're coming all the way back down to the c and when you come back down to what's called the root note that's the keynote we're in c remember c major we're coming back to the c we kind of know it that it's over we've returned to the beginning we've come full circle and a lot of music does just that it comes full circle and that's how we know it's ended we know we shouldn't do the applause yet so let's pop our thumb on that c
