Lesson 9: Alouette in C, F, & GAlouette is fun with its rhythm and a bit of moving around. The fingerings are a little tricky, with a 2-over-1 “crossover” in each hand, teaching you one of the basic moves a pianist uses quite often. Instructions for learning a piece on the piano: -play each line with right hand (fingerings written above note names) until it is easy and/or memorized. -play each line with left hand (fingerings written below note names) until it is easy and/or memorized. -play each line with both hands until it is easy and/or memorized. -string the lines together until you can play the whole piece. Keep it slow until you are comfortable and familiar with it. Then, start playing it faster, working up to an appropriate tempo for that piece. -Regardless of tempo, relax your arms & shoulders and keep it smooth and flowing.
