Accompaniment 2 Transposing
I have an Acc. 2 question, the transposing section. I’ve recently rewatched the TT video and looked at the pdf document for Acc 2. The video just talks about the advantages of learning to transpose and about the process, but not really about the project…

Shoo-Fly LH and Generativity
I’m learning Shoo-Fly. Any thoughts on reminder clues for the LH runs in the second part? It starts on D and goes up, then starts on C and goes up, and both have a black note but in a different spot. I find myself coming…

Songs for Children / Songs for Everyone
Some students recently pointed out that the Songs for Children (SFC) book online is different than my older, printed book. The new version only writes the chord when it changes–so if you’re meant to play C several times in a row, it only appears written…

Transposing I-IV-V
Once students are comfortable finding I-IV-V in any key, how do you go through the transposition process? Do you do one key a week, multiple keys per week? Do you use both Amazing Grace and Auld Lang Syne? Separately or at the same time? Do…

More on Developing I, IV, V
When I assign straight shaped chords, it’s two songs, one of which they can already play in their sleep. They come back the next week completely finished with that project. When I assign triangles, it’s the same two songs, in different keys. They come back…

The Triangle Game
I wanted to share a game I created, (quite by accident, actually) that is extremely easy to make, well-loved by students and quite versatile. I was wanting to make a grab bag for students as they were working on transposition – i.e. pull a chord…
