StarS of the Week - 28th November 2009

I have awarded 2 Stars this week because both of them are just great!

First to MItchell playing Classic Dance. If you listen carefully, he has played the song with beautiful dynamics. Listen to each phrase, the way he built up the phrase in the middle and softened it at the end was just beautiful. Also, the crescendo in the third phrase was well played. Great job Mitchell !





Congratulations too to Jasmine playing Scott Joplin's The Entertainer. This piece is in Ragtime style. It's main characteristic trait is its syncopated or "ragged" rhythm. Remember we learnt the term "syncopation" last week in Jesse' Alley Cat Choir ? This is a more advance piece on syncopation. The interaction between bouncing bass notes and chords in the left hand, and a syncopated melody in the right hand needs a great deal of hardwork. So enjoy this lovely clip by Jasmine !
