Hey cool cat! πββ¬ β€οΈ π΅ Today weβre learning about how you can use slurs in music that you know. We played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star today as well as happy birthday. I switch between staccato and slurs to help you listen to the difference. I hope you have a mentally healthy rest of your day!
π΅ Story Behind The Video
I love taking songs we know very well and transforming it emotionally by making small changes. This allows us to really study emotions and become better at expressing our own! I hope you enjoy PART 2 of this mini series π
π΅ About The Video Series
Iβm so glad youβre watching this video series cool cat! πββ¬ π΅ β€οΈ Understanding articulations are essential for creating music that conveys specific emotions. This allows us to communicate clear emotions to others through music, connecting us deeper to our friends, family, and loved ones!
π΅ Student Notes
Hey there Piano Cool Cat πββ¬! Today weβll be learning how you can play a slur by using the pedal on the piano or by holding down the prior key longer to create a feeling of connectedness between the notes.
I hope this video inspires you to continue learning music & improving your mental health! Thank you for making music a part of your mental health journey! I hope you have a mentally healthy rest of your day β€οΈ π΅
