C Positions
Here is the final step to "shrinking your piano" and getting familiar with playing all the keys.
Your assignment is:
1. Place your right hand in Middle C position with your thumb on Middle C. Play any patterns you like and at different speeds. When finished, move your right hand up to a different C section of the piano (the notes will sound higher) and with your thumb on C, again play all the patterns that you like. Continue to move your right hand to different sections and with your thumb on C, play whatever you like. (Make sure that the sections you choose are above Middle C)
2. Do the same as above, except do it with your left hand. Remember, your left hand will be placed in a C position with your #5 finger on the C. Again, move your hand around and play in different C sections of the lower part of the piano, (below Middle C).
3. If you are very brave and want to try something new....try placing both hands on the piano, each in a different C section and play both hands at the same time. Make sure you match the same note with the same note, not the same finger with the same finger. For Example:
If you play a C with your right hand thumb, then at the same time, you will play a C with your left hand #5 finger and so forth.
Do not play your right hand thumb, with your left hand thumb....that is something that will come later.
Have FUN! Move your hands around the piano, use every C position on the piano, try different combinations of C positions withboth hands, play different patterns, make up your own songs and maybe even a few words to sing along! Be creative!
