A few of the music examples in the issue
were not identified. They were as follows:
Page 6: Bach Fugue in D major, WTC I
Page 7: "Mary Had A Little Lamb," Clementi Sonatina Op. 36 No. 2,
Tchaikovsky "Waltz", Kuhlau, Sonatina Op. 20
Activities
for accompaniment patterns (page 7)
After students have read the
article, find out how many different patterns for the left hand they
remember from the article. Play examples of each pattern a few
times, so that they can hear what they sound like. Later you can
play various games to see how well they understand all the patterns.
1. Ask student to close his eyes, play a piece with each pattern and
have the student guess which pattern it is.
2. Show examples of sheet music and have students identify each
pattern.
3. Play examples of more complicated music on C.D.'s and have
students name various patterns.
Examples of music where you can find clear left
hand patterns.
Sonatinas and sonatas: Clementi, Kuhlau, Mozart, and Beethoven
Waltzes: Chopin, Schubert, and Brahms
Fugue
(page 6)
Late intermediate and
advanced students will be able to look through fugues to find each
statement of the subject. First, carefully study the first statement
of the subject. Then find each next entrance of the whole subject
and circle it with a pencil.
To see each voice better, students can use color pencils and draw a
line through the noteheads of each voice all the way through the
piece. (This can be done on a copy of the original music.) For
example, in a three-voice fugue, students will use one color for the
top voice, another color for the middle voice, and a different color
for the bass voice.
