"Once I Loved" by Antonio Carlos Jobim. One of my favorite songs by the great Brazilian composer. But then again, I love them all. :) I might take back the Picardy Third on the ending but it was too late once I played it. Ha!Ha!
Had a little time between students while teaching online today so I picked a song and focused on a specific task. The task was incorporating scalar lines/runs with a variety of stickings including alternate strokes as well as combination sticking. Also, starting and ending the runs in different places of the measure. The tune is Jobim’s “Triste”. Again, it’s practice and a work in progress.
"Blues with a Shuffle Feel" - Some experimentation tonight with a left hand "boogie woogie" pattern on a blues.
It's the most famous "pop" song every written so I had to do it.
You play the head then we trade 2 choruses and then you play and then take the melody out.
