1
I love the piano!
2
Hey friends, welcome back.
3
I'm really excited because we're going to start learning to play the piano today.
4
Now let's take a look at a piano.
5
Do you see it?
6
It's a beautiful acoustic instrument and an acoustic instrument is one that we don't have to plug in.
7
It plays nice, instrument called the keyboard and the keyboard's like a computer.
8
It's not an acoustic instrument and needs electricity to work.
9
But the cool thing about a keyboard is you can change the volume, you can turn it up or turn it down, and you can change the sounds that it plays too.
10
It can play all sorts of sounds.
11
Now I want to show you the piano again.
12
Take a look.
13
Do you know something really cool about the piano?
14
When you open up the lid on top, Do you know what you find inside?
15
There are actually strings inside a piano.
16
When we push on the keys, there are little hammers inside that hit the strings, and that's how the piano works.
17
So, let's take a look at the part of the piano that we actually put our hands and fingers on.
18
It's called a keyboard, just like that instrument we learned about.
19
That's the keyboard.
20
And take a look.
21
What color are the keys on the keyboard?
22
They are two different colors, white and black, right?
23
pattern and it's easy to see when we look at the black key.
24
Let's look closely at those black keys.
25
Look at the pattern.
26
What do we see?
27
The first black keys are a group of three together, right?
28
There are three black keys together.
29
And then the next little group that are next to each other are two black piano keys.
30
And then it goes to three again, and then two two
31
and then three and then two
32
and it keeps going three two three two three two is our pattern of black piano keys
33
so you're gonna want to know that when you learn to play the piano
34
okay
35
and i want to teach you something really fun about those
36
piano keys look at where there are two black piano keys those look a little bit like ears
37
but not my ears and probably not your ears they ears we find the doggie's face.
38
Do you see that?
39
Now what letter in the alphabet does dog start with?
40
It starts with d -d -d.
41
D. And on the piano, we name all the white keys after letters,
42
and the white key in between the two black keys that are like doggy ears is called the D for doggy.
43
you Alright, we learned a lot about the piano.
44
We're gonna learn more in the next part of the lesson.
45
See you there!
46
Hey friends, we are going to use the letters and the keys
47
that we just learned to play our first pattern on the piano.
48
Are you ready?
49
- Woo -hoo!
50
- Okay, these are the keys that we'll use.
51
We're gonna use the C, the D and the E underneath the doggy ears to play this pattern.
52
And we're going to use our right hand.
53
Okay.
54
But I want to show you something about our right hand when we play piano.
55
Each finger gets a number.
56
The thumb gets number one, pointer finger number two, middle finger gets three, ring finger is number four, and the pinky is number five.
57
So we'll use numbers one, two, and three for this.
58
Okay.
59
Watch the pattern first, then we'll play it together.
60
Hey friends,
61
did you see how we used our right hand to play C, D, and E for that pattern?
62
Okay, now let's learn about the reading music part of this.
63
There are three notes and then a rest when we play this pattern.
64
There are three quarter notes and then a rest.
65
And if you remember the rest from the resting baby story, it looks like a lightning bolt, but that is a
66
Quarter note rest so we rest for one count
67
and the first quarter note is down low and it has a line through it It's eating the line.
68
That's our C The next one is a little higher
69
because the sound is higher the pitch is higher and
70
that one Bumps its head on that line in the staff doesn't it and the next one Gobbles the line again,
71
and that's our E and the E is higher than the D isn't it?
72
Then we have our rest.
73
So it's C D E rest.
74
C D E rest.
75
Okay, I want you to see something else too.
76
Do you see the little dots?
77
Those are our repeat signs.
78
And you might have learned about that in the story
79
and lesson that we did called the repeat sign in the magic tunnel.
80
Now the repeat signs, they tell us to do the music or play the music again.
81
And this time we're going to do it eight, Thank you times.
82
Wow!
83
Okay, are you ready to practice with me?
84
Now practice makes us better.
85
Each time we practice we get a little bit better at our pattern.
86
Let's do it eight times together.
87
I'm really excited.
88
Here we go.
89
You can do it!
90
you you you you you
91
you you Hey friends, did you have fun playing that pattern with us?
92
Now, if you couldn't do it perfectly, that's okay.
93
Just go back and try it again, and try it as many times as you need to until you feel comfortable.
94
Learning an instrument takes practice, and you've got to keep practicing to get better.
95
That's a fun thing to do also.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
