This piano lesson is dedicated to E’LIAN (instagram @elirey) who requested this particular song!
Some things to remember:
Pause and practice regularly. You want to feel pretty comfortable before moving on to the next sections.
In ONLY the sections when you are combining both hands, the BOTTOM letters represent the notes in the LEFT HAND, and the top letters represent the notes in the RIGHT HAND. I wanted to provide letter names for both hands just incase you still needed them for reference.
MUSIC EDUCATION:
Octave:
In music, an octave (Latin: octavus: eighth) or perfect octave (sometimes called the diapason) is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double its frequency.
An octave is a musical interval. An octave is defined both in terms of music and in terms of physics: In terms of music, an octave is the distance between one note (like in this song, F) and the next note bearing its same name (the next F that’s either higher or lower).
Tonic:
Tonic, also called keynote, in music, the first note (degree) of any diatonic (e.g., major or minor) scale. It is the most important degree of the scale, serving as the focus for both melody and harmony. It is often sung in the solfege system as “do.” In this case (YESTERDAY), the TONIC is F.
Dominant:
In music, the dominant is the fifth scale degree (in this case, the dominant is C) of the diatonic scale. It is called the dominant because it is next in importance to the first scale degree, the tonic. In the movable do solfège system, the dominant note is sung as “sol.”
