I teach them B, A and G - playing little scales up and then down - some jumping from B to G to B and then we play Hot Cross Buns all still without the book. So far, still funNutroast wrote:Hi Feg, I usually start at the beginning, but some children get bored quickly with it, they'd rather learn a nice little tune first and then the notation later on. We didn't do much playing yesterday, I got them all to be crotchet soldiers and quickedy quavers

Hot Cross Buns

After than, I go back to earlier tunes and only play those I need to depending on how quickly or otherwise that particular group catches on.

I hope you haven't got a copyright on that idea as I fully intend to steal it!Feg wrote:

Are you playing the piano part or violin part? In any case, I didn't think you did much piano playing these days Feg.Feg wrote:Salut D'Amour by Elgar.
It's well and truly stuck as I am researching a suitable repertoire for a concert I am playing in as part of the Balerno Music Festival.

That kept Ultravox 'Vienna' off the UK no1 spot, you know. What an accolade to bear.Gill the Piano wrote:Caught a bit of 'Shaddapa You Face' on the wireless and now I CAN'T SHIFT IT!

I'm playing the violin for my sins. I do still play piano when I get the chance. My current battle is with Rachmaninoff in the wonderful key of C# minor.dave brum wrote:Are you playing the piano part or violin part?

I always practice the piano accompaniment for my violin pieces as well as the violin solo. I find it helps if I know both parts if either of us gets lost along the way

Not likely, Dave. Every Sunday is not a commitment I am prepared to make at the moment. I do, however, have the offer of the church keys any time I would like to go and play the church organ. I have yet to find the time to do so:(dave brum wrote:You should do what Gill does, accompany for choirs and 'do' Sunday mornings on the organ (pedalboard purely an option)

And with me looking for a church organ to try my Hyfrydol and Blaenwern on! I still practice them daily in hope...Lucky Feg!Feg wrote:Not likely, Dave.

Today's earworm; 'Bist Du Bei Mir'. Can't remember who wrote it, but it's lovely.

It's a cat in Finnish, quite appropriate (I lurve my cat) and valkoinen means white.dave brum wrote:In colloquial Irish folk dialect, a kissa is that thing on the front of your head. Maybe you should learn some Gaeilge.
I should call her aanekas kissa. Loud cat. (with umlauts on all the a's)
Re: What tune have we had on our minds today??
Tis JSBatch. I haven't got any earworms today, though I ought to have the Beach Boys' "Wouldn't it be Nice" as that's where we're going for four days in October (well three days and a whole day at each end on the train) to celebrate Robin's retirement. We're running out of Nice jokes in this house.Gill the Piano wrote:How can you do keep fit on such a norrible ot sweaty day? STWOT!

No it isn't; I always thought it was but it was misattibuted to him. Twas a chap called Stozel, apparently.With an umlaut, but I haven't got one of those on my pooter. I played it for my friend's hobo exam and couldn't dislodge it for ages.gizzy wrote:Tis JSBatch.Gill the Piano wrote:How can you do keep fit on such a norrible ot sweaty day? STWOT!
