Piano Lesson #1 - Piano Techniques - Octave Bass, Octave Drums with Video Demos - Song: Alleluia

Learn Piano With Rosa

In this Piano Lesson #1 - Beginners Level, you will learn a Left Hand Easy Technique that will give you a lot of mileage in your piano playing.

There will be lots of video demonstrations to show you  how to play octave bass and octave drum in your Left Hand.

Professional musicians play the bass in octaves and they know how to make interesting dramatic sounds by varying the rhythm with the thumb. I show you at least 6 different ways to vary the rhythmic sound of the bass so that you can see how a little change can make your piano playing sound beautiful.

Audio and video demos are provided for easy learning.

I show the Right Hand with one melody tone for beginners so that you can coordinate both hands easily. All the demos are done in the Key of C.

To play piano well, you need to understand song structure and rhythmic patterns of songs. I use the simple gospel song Alleluia toI show you patterns in lyrics, in song structure, song rhythm and chord progressions of Alleluia.
