Star of the Week 14 May 2010

Noah has been working very hard these past few weeks for the Piano Recital (28th May, 2.30 p.m., in case you haven't got it on your dairy).

The first piece, the famous Fur Elise by Beethoven, though a simpler version, has been played so beautifully that mom thought it was Ms Lim playing. The 2nd piece would probably getting your feet rocking, so enjoy the footage!!

The Importance of playing with accompaniment

Playing with accompaniment is important as it helps the student to listen to the accompanists, be it a real person or a CD track. It also keeps the pianist on time and help the pianist to feel the music they are playing.

Listen to the following video, first Jesse plays the theme from Spider Man alone. Notice how he alters his tempo without noticing.

Then look and compare with the 2nd video, doesn't it sound better? Be amazed how 4 hands enriched the music !
