Description

Level 4 is a natural continuation of the previous courses levels 1-2 and 3.This course can be divided virtually into three parts:Take those three parts as virtual subdivisions of the course structure rather than in a sequence.Technical partThere are included a set of scales and arpeggios. We have been playing scales in the previous levels but not to such an extent.In this course, we have 5 scales and three arpeggios: Scales:C major - 2 octavesA minor harmonic - 2 octavesA minor melodic - 2 octavesF major - 2 octavesChromatic scale starting on G - 1 octaveArpeggios:C major - 2 octavesA minor - 2 octavesF  major - 2 octaves.The technical part includes also a few exercises distributed throughout the course to help you to understand and practice different rhythm models such as Swing. Triplets, Syncopation etc.Music theory,The theory presented in the course is minimized and restricted as much as possible to what you will be needing in the course.The new things that we will come across within this course are:· Double-dotted Quarter note· Triplet· Syncopation· Swing Rhythm· Tone Colors· Melodic Minor Scale· Campanella· MutingDuring the course, there will be provided specific exercises for some of those concepts.ImplementationThe pieces that are included in the course are: Etude No. 4 - Valentin SpasovMelancholia -Valentin SpasovRomanze Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806 - 1856)Tempo di marcia  -Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806 - 1856) Blue Pearl - Valentin SpasovSupplementary Piecesin the last section of the course, there are several supplementary pieces to implement the skills and knowledge that you have acquired during level 4. If you do everything properly you shouldn’t have problems playing those pieces and many others that are of a similar technical level, just by yourself.
