we're now in the breaking the code section of the
- 00:14 - 00:18
park. In the very first lesson, I tell my students
- 00:19 - 00:20
they're going to learn a new language.
- 00:21 - 00:22
Much like the Egyptian hieroglyphics.
- 00:23 - 00:25
You must know how to break the code to read
- 00:25 - 00:25
the language.
- 00:27 - 00:29
Well, let's start breaking that code with a folk song.
- 00:31 - 00:34
Deconstruct a well known folk song into one measure per
- 00:34 - 00:38
page, print the pages on card stock and then laminate,
- 00:39 - 00:47
or put them in a page protector for private lessons.
- 00:48 - 00:50
Mix the pages up and place them in a stack.
- 00:51 - 00:53
Take turns with your student playing a page at a
- 00:53 - 00:55
time until the student guesses the title.
- 00:56 - 00:59
When The Titlist Guest, then the students put all the
- 00:59 - 01:00
measures in the correct order.
- 01:01 - 01:03
Then you divide the pages into even and odd.
- 01:04 - 01:06
Now you and the student can play the song together,
- 01:06 - 01:11
playing the measures in the correct order in group lessons,
- 01:12 - 01:14
pass out the pages and have each student play their
- 01:14 - 01:18
measure. The group works together to discover the title of
- 01:18 - 01:18
the piece.
- 01:19 - 01:22
Students then decide the sequence of players and play the
- 01:22 - 01:23
song as a team
