Have a go at playing the main theme from the film
|
|
|
Work in pairs to add the baseline to the melody.
The person on the LEFT will play the bass - REMEMBER - it is written in BASS CLEF! Play it together slowly and then don't forget to communicate well. When you can do it - swap places and teach each other! |
|
Play both parts by yourself. The Melody should be played with your right hand and the Bass with your left.
Start rehearsing slowly and then pick up speed when you feel more confident. |
