Jumping Around - Rockschool Piano Method, Part 2
Let's perform the tune "Jumping Around" from the Rockschool Piano Method, part 2.
Performance Tips:
-
Dynamics:
- Pay attention to the dynamics indicated in the sheet music.
- Use soft and loud notes to bring expression to the tune.
-
Tempo:
- Start at a slower tempo to ensure accuracy.
- Gradually increase the speed as you become more comfortable.
-
Articulation:
- Focus on the articulation marks.
- Make sure that staccatos are short and detached, while legatos are smooth and connected.
Tips for using the interactive sheet music:
- Switch between my performance and the backing track using the player controls.
- Turn the virtual keyboard on and off using the button in the control bar to see the notes being played.
- Start slow and gradually increase tempo by using the speed control.
- Loop tricky sections by clicking on the sheet music and dragging with your mouse or finger.
- Use the built-in metronome to keep a steady tempo.
