  • TEACHER DEMO. This Jewish folk song is on p. 70 of the Alfred's Adult All In One Course Level 2. It was composed in 1918 and is often sung and danced at Jewish weddings and Bar/Batmitzvah celebrations. Many well-known recording artists have performed this song including: Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Glen Campbell, Neil Diamond, Chubby Checker, and Harry Belafonte.
    If you are able to play this song faster, you can do an "accelerando poco a poco" on the repeat until you've reached your top speed on the 4th page. Traditionally, this song starts very slowly and then continues gaining momentum until the end.

    Hi Norma,
    Its time for me to stop lurking and shout out 'Thank You' for your recordings of the Alfred's Adult books. They are wonderful resource and have been incredibly helpful in my teacher-less piano journey. Your responses to questions and comments are also inspiring.
    I started my piano journey as a 60 year old with zero musical history. Here I am 18 months later, half way though book 2, not rushing it and having a wonderful time.
    Kind Regards from Australia.
    Stephen.

    This song is so much fun but goddamn my hands are cramping practicing it

    • @92pianokeys40
      @92pianokeys40  3 года назад +9

      Yes, it's especially easily with this one to tense up and lock up the wrists and forearms. Try to keep a relaxed wrist with a bit of pivot in it, that will keep the blood flowing into the hand and should ease some of the cramping. Slowing the tempo a bit and playing softer if practicing for extended periods of time can help as well. Taking some deep breaths, and even just mentally or verbally telling yourself to relax, and taking a brief break to drop the arms to your sides and shake out the hands can also keep things more loose. So glad that you're having fun with this song!! --Norma

      +Ronald Piano Videos I completely agree with you. I personally think they should have placed this song towards the end of the book. Most students at this stage do not have the technical skill yet to play those running 6ths at the tempo which is more typical for this song. For this demo, I chose to play it at a more reasonable tempo and not do the customary accelerando since I thought it would be more helpful to students. Glad you found it helpful. NM

      @@92pianokeys40 Hey Norma, many thanks for sharing this video! I am quite new to playing piano, and I was wondering what you actually mean with 'running 6ths'. Could you give an example where you played these running 6ths in this video, or refer to one or two measures on the music sheet that contain these runnings 6ths. (I do have the book.) Many thanks in advance.

      @@92pianokeys40 Do you have any tips for playing the running 6ths for people with small hands like me? I can reach C to A with my 1 and 3 but I don't find them comfortable. My hand starts to hurt a bit after a few measures of playing. Is this just a matter of getting used to?

    • @92pianokeys40
      @92pianokeys40  3 года назад +3

      @@deadpixel08 I would simply play the 6ths with fingers 1 and 5 and move the hand as needed. I completely understand. I used to play 6ths with 1 & 5 all the time. At this stage, It's better to use fingering that your hand is more comfortable and relaxed with rather can causing undue tension in the hand. Eventually, you will gain more flexibility between the fingers which will allow a further reach and greater variety of fingering options even if your hand has finished growing. My hand used to be maxed at an octave, but now I can reach and play a 9th.
      I think it is helpful also to ask yourself whether something just feels awkward and difficult or is it painful. Many things at the keyboard will feel challenging at first but with time and practice become more comfortable. But if it is painful, then some things need to be adjusted.
      Also, if something is fatiguing for the hand/fingers, etc. then just do a little bit each day or several times a week and gradually you will find your stamina increasing.
      Hope that helps, Norma.

      Wow! A Bluthner. I haven't had the privilege of playing one yet, but I've always heard the 3 B's in the same sentence of Bluthner, Bosendorfer, and Bechstein. I'm sure hearing Hava Nagila live on your instrument was wonderful! Take a look at my tempo notes in the description below the video. If you have the technical skill to play the tempo in the more traditional fashion of starting slower and getting faster and faster to the end that would be great. I kept the tempo slower as a tutorial video. Let me know how it goes, Norma

If it's any comfort, this song is usually quite a challenge for students and requires a lot of practice time. When I am working on a song that is difficult for me, I practice a lot hands separate until I am very confident with each hand, then I put it hands together painfully slowly in very small sections. (Such as the Bach Two-Part Invention that I was working on recently.) The key is very slow practice. You have to be very patient with the process. Some songs are just going to be surprisingly more difficult than others. I bump into the same thing.

Sometimes I'll practice each hand maybe 10 times separate and then 3 times together, and then do that again the next day. It varies quite a bit depending on the difficulty level of the piece. And of course initially, the tempo is slower when I put it hands together than the tempo I was using hands separate just moments before. Most people have to practice a lot.

    Thank you for your videos. I have not started this one yet, but was wondering if you could give me an idea how long this song might take to learn for a 68 year old person who is at this stage in the Alfred level 2 book and is learning without an instructor. I practice an hour or so most days, but don't consider myself a very good player. I find it hard to keep my mind focused, especially with longer songs. Thank you.

      This song is traditionally danced to at wedding receptions and it begins with a slow tempo with people dancing slowly and then the tempo speeds up and people dance faster and faster until the end. That would've been a more accurate way for me to record this song, but for piano students at this level it is generally quite difficult for them to play the end that quickly with this particular musical pattern so I chose to keep the tempo more under control and not do an extreme accelerando at the end. The tempo is certainly open to personal interpretation and can be played differently. Norma

      Hi my name is Norma, and I am a piano teacher with 35+ years of playing and teaching experience. My son, Joshua, and I created 92PianoKeys to provide students with an example of what a song could sound like upon completion, which is helpful whether it has been assigned by a piano teacher or if the individual is self-taught. We enjoy a wide variety of music and therefore have included many different styles and genres on our channel. If you are interested in learning to play a particular song, check the description for a link to the sheet music. We've also included the estimated difficulty level in the video title. And yes, our Bosendorfer piano does in fact have 4 more keys than the customary 88. Enjoy the musical journey!
