<span style="font-size: large;">The <b>Study op. 299 no. 8 in C Major</b> by <b>Carl Czerny</b> is part of the collection of Studies "<b><i>The school of velocity</i></b>" ("<i>Die Schule der Geläufigkeit</i>"<i> </i>is the original title in German) that the author published in 1833.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JnetFFu-fhQ/XqlOVCTtOWI/AAAAAAAABt4/paHHLAYZU6AAb2q04KkLgw7u_kxXKebHACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Carl%2BCzerny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Czerny" border="0" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JnetFFu-fhQ/XqlOVCTtOWI/AAAAAAAABt4/paHHLAYZU6AAb2q04KkLgw7u_kxXKebHACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Carl%2BCzerny.jpg" title="Carl Czerny" width="272" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Czerny, as you know, is one of the major names in piano teaching of the nineteenth century. He was a pupil of Beethoven and teacher, among others, of the young Liszt. He was born in Vienna in 1791 and died there in 1857.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The Study op. 299 no. 8 can be considered a <b>medium difficulty study</b>. Its main feature, immediately evident, is the fact that it entrusts to the right hand a <b>continuous series of quatrains of sixteenth notes</b>, which continues uninterruptedly for 54 bars and closes at bar 55 with a conclusive chord. The left hand is instead given a simple accompaniment, with some jumps and a short polyphonic passage in the central section of the piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, the main purpose of the study is <b>to develop the agility of the right hand</b>. Within the 54 bars of continuous movement in sixteenths we find a certain <b>variety of figurations</b>, which require <b>different mechanisms</b>. This will be the object of our preparatory work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Let's not forget the <b>need to vary the intensity of the sound</b>: the author has specified a series of indications of dynamics, including crescendo and diminuendo, which require further technical skills to be performed correctly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I prepared <b>two videos</b>: in the first, after this short presentation, you can listen to an execution of the Study, that I made on April 29, 2020</span><span style="font-size: large;">. In the second video I carry out a <b>real lesson in piano technique and execution</b>, where I illustrate in detail all the different figurations present in the piece and the correct method of study and realization, which is achieved through<b> appropriate movements and positions of the hand and arm</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Forse! Analisi di un'ingiustizia</span></i> (<i><span style="color: red;">Tomorrow? Maybe! Analysis of an injustice</span></i>). Music is therefore associated with the world of dreams, for its ability to fully express our inner emotional experience, of which we are often not even fully aware: here is therefore the great value of our art also for therapeutic purposes, as amply illustrated by the same author in his famous book <i><span style="color: red;">Manuale di musicoterapia immaginativa</span></i> (<i><span style="color: red;">Imaginative musicotherapy manual</span></i>, Roma, 1991).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--qi0enesm04/Xi7AVMtawVI/AAAAAAAABcw/0h-9cTQePO0kSRFk2AOuEhc9bMiYSI73gCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Modest_Musorgskiy%252C_1870.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Modest Musorgskij" border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="459" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--qi0enesm04/Xi7AVMtawVI/AAAAAAAABcw/0h-9cTQePO0kSRFk2AOuEhc9bMiYSI73gCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Modest_Musorgskiy%252C_1870.jpg" title="Modest Musorgskij" width="224" /></a></div>
In this recent work, Carrozzini is inspired in particular by some works by <span style="color: red;">Modest Musorgskij</span> (1839-1881), composer who in his whimsical and unpredictable genius lends himself particularly effectively to exemplify the assumption enunciated.<br />
<br />
The text is actually an <span style="color: red;">autobiographical narrative</span>, as compelling and exciting as a novel, and in its rich articulation it presents multiple reading plans. It is the story of a tragic family event, framed in an extremely dramatic political context, that is, the years immediately following the end of the Second World War; years in which the establishment of the "<i>cold war</i>" and the "<i>witch-hunt</i>" imposed by United States politics affects even absolutely honest and morally flawless people, even decorated ex-partisans, for the sole reason of being communist militants and therefore suspected of espionage activities, however not proven. So it happens that the author's father spent five years in Gaeta prison, dismissed without reason from his job and, even more seriously, from family affections. A further drama was created by the withdrawal of the communist comrades. The title refers to the heartfelt expectation of release, expressed by the prisoner in his diary, while the subtitle highlights the injustice suffered by him and his relatives.<br />
<br />
Very strong, in this book, it is <span style="color: red;">the affective and emotional component of this personal experience</span>, lived by the Author between 7 and 12 years of age. Starting from this story you can deepen the values and the deep meaning of the bond between a father and a male child, without however neglecting the beautiful female figures of the mother and older sister.<br />
<span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">In all this, the presence of </span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">music </span></span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">is fundamental, its unique ability to create bonds between people, as well as infinite symbolic resonances, </span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: red; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">a true mirror of the soul</span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;">Psychoanalysis </span>responds to the need to "<i>do personal, individual work, to try to untie, to clarify some knots</i>" that each person can feel "<i>heavy</i>" in his own life (p.13). <span style="color: red;">Recurring dreams</span>, connected to <span style="color: red;">memories </span>through <span style="color: red;">free associations</span>, are the keys to re-emerge what we have concealed, because "<i>something is always censored and omitted, consciously or unconsciously</i>" (p.17). <span style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">But "<i>our unconscious always keeps track</i>"</span> (p. 23) and therefore inevitably the most hidden things somehow always resurface: it is a good therapy, combined with the goodwill of the subject, the ability to undo the knots. We must be aware of the fact that "<i>every event of our existence binds and connects to others and to others, in an intertwining difficultly imaginable and conceivable</i>" (p.24). The Author warns us: "<i>Dig up the past, retrace it and put it in order, I think it is useful for each of us</i>" (p. 31). In reality "<i>we never know exactly what our unconscious collects and what it contains ... how numerous and how varied ... the threads that make up the skein of our personal experiences. Threads with disparate colors, of different fibers, of strength and of unequal fragility. But the skeins, if well worked, can produce beautiful and elegant clothes. If poorly worked they can give clumsy and coarse clothing</i>" (p.33).The classic "<i>supine position favors the state of relaxation and lowers the resistance allowing, in this way, the emergence of deep 'themes', often hidden in the crumpled folds of our unconscious</i>"(p.33).Working on yourself can lead to the most difficult questions: "<i>Who am I? Who is my father? Who are my parents? What is my existence? What is the meaning of it</i>?" (p.70). The ultimate goal is that "<i>the rigid dualism between conscious and unconscious" can "be overcome. Indeed, the two sides can integrate well and act in harmony</i>" (p.37).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Through this work of analysis and self-analysis, the Author highlights the possibility of focusing on the <span style="color: red;">relationship between the subject and their parents</span>, especially in the early years of childhood, "<i>memories that highlighted the extraordinary human qualities of mom and dad and their solid values related to family, freedom and independence</i>" (p.34). From this derives a force that manages to transcend the drama of events. And the "<i>split mountain</i>" of Gaeta, "<i>has become stronger just where the rift had been created</i>", as well as "<i>our family has become even more united after the violent and unjust separation</i>", so "<i>our strength is born where so many frailties seemed to nestle</i>" (p.94).<br />
<br />
There is also a nice reflection on the <span style="color: red;">fundamental difference between deep needs and induced desires</span>: "<i>If our desires are driven by advertising and consumerism they are no longer 'our' desires, they are desires driven from outside. This is one of the reasons why in today's world there is frustration, boredom and discontent: because we cannot have everything that consumer society offers us day and night</i>" (p.72).<br />
<br />
And <span style="color: red;">time</span>, "<i>what is time? Time can expand and shrink very quickly, in an absolutely irrational way, just as it can run very fast or appear still and motionless</i>" (p. 47). Already in this statement we are close to <span style="color: red;">the musical experience and its mysterious, inextricable intertwining with our deep experience</span>. "<i>By letting particularly meaningful and emotionally pregnant memories emerge freely, we can identify with them so deeply, from the emotional point of view, that the unconscious struggles to live the present and the past simultaneously. And this happens when the past, with all the experience related to it, it still has a strong relevance in the emotional world</i>"(p.83).<i> </i><br />

<br />
The analytical work leads the Author to bring out "<i>a set of strong emotions, a mixture of anger, emotion, bewilderment, trepidation and various suggestions that were mixed with a sense of liberation, redemption, determination and liberation</i>" (p.61). And at this point, in nocturnal dreams, a precise memory appears, a re-enactment of a strong moment of childhood affectivity, closely linked to the experience of <span style="color: red;">music</span>: "<i>I had a short dream in which I saw myself small, while listening to my favorite music of my father, sitting right next to him or on his knees. With him, really, I always listened to a lot of classical and symphonic music: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mascagni and others and in the specific case of the dream, we were listening to '<span style="color: red;">Pictures at an exhibition" by Modest Musorgsky.</span> A dream so true and real that I was sure I had heard, listened and even appreciated the music, in fact, I would say that that was above all <span style="color: red;">a sound and musical dream</span></i>" (pp.61-62). "<i>In the case of the dream in question, I remember well the notes of the piano relating to the walk, to the so-called 'walk' between one painting and another exhibited at the exhibition, as I perfectly remember some pieces of music that represent the paintings on display, such as the 'old castle ', the' ballet of the chicks', 'the gnome', 'the catacombs' and' the great gate of Kiev'.</i> " The dream and the memories of early childhood connect to the present reality: the dream "<i>fully corresponds to reality</i>" and the various paintings of the Musorgsky walk (which we can certainly read as dreamlike evocation of fragments of dreams) are directly associated with the facts, the objects and situations of the dramatic and sweet encounter with the father, in the Aragonese fortress of Gaeta, after five years of absence (p.87).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Silence </span>is also full of meaning, just like pauses in musical works: "<i>a silence full of emotions, a long, very long, or perhaps very short silence? A throbbing, intense, moving silence that expressed a lot, indeed for us it expressed everything what there was to express. Still more hugs, more eloquent than a thousand words</i>" (pp.87-88). Instead, we know how our society is polluted by this obsessive excess of words and by the presumption of being able to express everything with words.<br />

<br />
Hence Musorgsky's <span style="color: red;">various paintings are associated with lived experience and intense emotional involvement</span>: the chicks (the children affected by the family tragedy), the old castle (the "<i>huge and majestic fortress</i>" of Gaeta, "<i>almost worrying</i>"), the catacombs (as prison cells), the great door (the gate of the Aragonese fortress,"<i>huge, massive, hateful and threatening</i>", with its heavy bolts). In particular, the Author notes the ambivalence of the image of the castle, for which "<i>Musorgsky really composed delicate and almost gentle music ... and I had remained tied to those musical images and perhaps I had also unconsciously wanted to remain tied to because they were very reassuring. It is indeed a music that befits a fairy castle. I really wanted and wanted my father to be in a fairy castle, not in a worrying prison castle</i>"(p.91).<br />
<br />
Therefore the Author can say that "<i>the dream allowed me to relive extraordinary moments that I had lived with my dad: that of a boy in Gaeta and those of a child when we listened to music together. In particular, my unconscious associated with the 'paintings of an exhibition', my visit to the Gaeta prison ... I saw my father 'exposed'... We too were 'exposed' to him as he was to us ...</i> ". Therefore he can conclude by saying that "<i>the unconscious works within us, keeps accounts and follows its laws, <span style="color: red;">laws that are different from those of rationality</span>, and which, on the contrary, intertwine experiences, passions, fears, anxieties, desires, fantasies, needs, aspirations and more. <span style="color: red;">It is a different, 'emotional' language</span>, which is why even very young children dream, fetuses in the womb dream and higher animals dream.</i>" (pp.96-97).<br />
<br />
And again: "<i>There were no words,<span style="color: red;"> who 'spoke' was the music with its symbolic and emotional language</span></i>" (p.97).<br />

<br />
Another subsequent dream is linked to another famous work by Musorgsky, <i><span style="color: red;">Night on Bald Mountain</span></i>: a symphonic poem that the young composer created in 1867 and which later became famous in the adaptation of Rimsky-Korsakov, after the death of friend and, as you know, "sweetening" the major harmonic and timbric harshnesses that the composer had created with his irrepressible imagination and beyond any academic rule.. Musorgsky himself had taken up his extraordinary poem to insert it as a choral page in his unfinished play, <i><span style="color: red;">The Fair of Sorocynci</span></i> of 1880, with the title <i>The dream of the young peasant</i>. A dream, therefore, already in the composer's fervent imagination: the dream of a young shepherd who evokes the satanic round of the witches and then awakens to the sound of a liberating bell. Dreams express "<i>our unconscious world, where, according to Freud, fear, anguish, but also desires, fantasies, ambitions, joys and hopes linger.</i>" Above all, it is necessary to remember that "<i><span style="color: red;">In the unconscious there are no verbal expressions, but there are other languages</span>: those of posture, facial expression, tone of voice, love or hate. Symbolic and metaphorical languages</i>" (pp.115-116). <span style="color: red;">And what better than music can express and evoke all this? </span>Here then the dream of shepherd Gricko becomes a "<i>dream of transformation</i>", in which "<i>both the dream language and the musical one touch the deepest and most delicate strings of our subconscious</i>" (p. 121). Therefore, "<i>in the dream we manage to express the highest levels of our creativity. It is no coincidence that many pictorial, musical, literary and artistic masterpieces were born from dreams</i>" (p.120).<br />
<br />
In conclusion, the Author teaches us that the <span style="color: red;">therapeutic experience</span>, or even self-therapeutic, can truly heal our wounds, it is a "<i><span style="color: red;">path within ourselves</span></i>" (p. 102): "<i>My emotions were transforming, they were coming out of the swamps of inertia and rushing towards life ... <span style="color: red;">New life</span> ... I felt stronger and more determined myself. I was beginning to feel that I had weapons inside me that I would need to fight life's adversities and difficulties</i>" (p.95)."<i>From the most atrocious and profound pains, to the joie de vivre that often arises from suffering. And it is perhaps in these extraordinary transformations that the secret of inner peace lurks</i>" (p.122). <span style="color: red;">With the fundamental help of music,</span> great music, for example the extraordinary one of that suffering, unpredictable genius, out of any rational logic (just as our dreams seem to us), truly dreamlike, which was Modest Musorgsky.<br />

An example from Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana"<span style="color: red;">Playing the opera at the piano</span> is a practice that requires specific skills: in particular it is a matter of rendering the idea of the original version for orchestra, limiting itself to the piano only. Obviously, it is not a question of "imitating" the sound of the orchestra, but rather to "evoking" it through choices of <span style="color: red;">piano instrumentation</span> and <span style="color: red;">instrumental timbre</span> appropriate to the effect we intend to simulate.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Let's take an example, from <span style="color: red;">Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana"</span> (1890) and specifically the orchestral introduction to the choir "Gli aranci olezzano".<br />
<br />
The piano reduction that is usually used is the classical one, made by Leopoldo Mugnone for the original Sonzogno edition of 1891. We note that already in the first exposition of the main theme the melody doubled in octave, while the left hand performs an <span style="color: red;">accompaniment </span>which requires continuous jumps between the bass and the internal parts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bfeY2bxaVPM/XhbntFBEtkI/AAAAAAAABb4/dW8IEhWwL5gfpmkiGcRzzdtTHAVhNYFNgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mascagni%252C%2BGli%2Baranci%2Bolezzano%252C%2Bcanto%2Be%2Bpiano%252C%2Besempio%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Gli aranci olezzano" border="0" data-original-height="815" data-original-width="599" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bfeY2bxaVPM/XhbntFBEtkI/AAAAAAAABb4/dW8IEhWwL5gfpmkiGcRzzdtTHAVhNYFNgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Mascagni%252C%2BGli%2Baranci%2Bolezzano%252C%2Bcanto%2Be%2Bpiano%252C%2Besempio%2B1.png" title="Cavalleria Rusticana" width="235" /></a></div>
<br />
Subsequently, in correspondence with the first entry of the choir, the writing is even more massive, especially in the left hand.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j6l-LsKRz04/XhboFONd9YI/AAAAAAAABcA/Cw9w8WuiEGUsGM8Cboq_bhids41wIHXTACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mascagni%252C%2BGli%2Baranci%2Bolezzano%252C%2Bcanto%2Be%2Bpiano%252C%2Besempio%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cavalleria Rusticana" border="0" data-original-height="397" data-original-width="606" height="209" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j6l-LsKRz04/XhboFONd9YI/AAAAAAAABcA/Cw9w8WuiEGUsGM8Cboq_bhids41wIHXTACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Mascagni%252C%2BGli%2Baranci%2Bolezzano%252C%2Bcanto%2Be%2Bpiano%252C%2Besempio%2B2.png" title="Gli aranci olezzano" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It is not possible to make excessive simplifications to "facilitate" the piano part, because this would preclude the effect of evoking the orchestral sound: it is not possible, for example, to play the melody with single keys, avoiding the doubling of octave and the filling in agreements in some moments of support. In fact, if we look the <span style="color: red;">orchestral score</span>, we note that initially the theme is given to all the strings, with doubling of octave between violins (first and second in unison, plus the oboe 1) and violas and cellos. The effect is already vigorous and well sustained in sound, as can it easily seen when listening.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-91as-K91H7s/XhboRLMJxOI/AAAAAAAABcE/cTrmP6miIXkY5zc76Usqc8TRTAjK5KbIgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mascagni%252C%2BGli%2Baranci%2Bolezzano%252C%2Borchestra%252C%2Besempio%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Gli aranci olezzano" border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="596" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-91as-K91H7s/XhboRLMJxOI/AAAAAAAABcE/cTrmP6miIXkY5zc76Usqc8TRTAjK5KbIgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Mascagni%252C%2BGli%2Baranci%2Bolezzano%252C%2Borchestra%252C%2Besempio%2B1.png" title="Cavalleria Rusticana di Mascagni" width="280" /></a></div>
<br />
In the following ripresa, at the entry of the choir, the orchestral writing becomes even more massive, with the entry of all the winds (including the blaring trumpets), arranged even on three octaves, while the accompaniment is marked by percussion and tuba (in addition to the basses of the strings and winds) and in particular with the heavy chords of the trombones.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h6sfTclcJE4/XhboemUJxcI/AAAAAAAABcM/O0TUpHSNhRUABSjNNw1SZXVaNW1f1o7VQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Mascagni%252C%2BGli%2Baranci%2Bolezzano%252C%2Borchestra%252C%2Besempio%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cavalleria Rusticana di Mascagni" border="0" data-original-height="758" data-original-width="573" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h6sfTclcJE4/XhboemUJxcI/AAAAAAAABcM/O0TUpHSNhRUABSjNNw1SZXVaNW1f1o7VQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Mascagni%252C%2BGli%2Baranci%2Bolezzano%252C%2Borchestra%252C%2Besempio%2B2.png" title="Gli aranci olezzano" width="241" /></a></div>
<br />
All this cannot be achieved with a light and chamber sound, but with a powerful and massive sound, although always soft and never strained. The suggestion of orchestral sound must accompany the sonorous idea of the pianist, ready to accompany even a <span style="color: red;">large choir</span>, in this festive and luminous page that does not yet predict the imminent tragedy what will be told in the opera.<br />
<br />
We can hear a beautiful orchestral performance, conducted by the author himself in 1940 at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W6bHCInvpg" target="_blank">at this link</a>.<br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="">Are you afraid to sing at a family gathering or in the privacy
of your bedroom because you feel it won’t be music to people’s ears?
Don’t sweat it. Bring out the Madonna in you because <span style="color: red;"><b>singing has
multiple physical, mental and spiritual benefits</b></span>. The Sidney De Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health has undertaken extensive research to support their aim of getting the
National Health Service in the United Kingdom to provide medical
practitioners the option of “<b><span style="color: red;">singing on prescription</span></b>.” As compiled from time.com<a href="http://time.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>, here are five reasons why you should sing. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody">1<span style="color: red;"><b>.</b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span style="color: red;"><b><strong>Boosts cardiovascular health:</strong></b></span><span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Singing is <span style="color: red;"><b>an aerobic activity</b></span> that increases oxygenation in the blood
stream and exercises major muscle groups in the upper body, even when
sitting. It decreases risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, and
cardiovascular disease.<br />
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"> <span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody">2.<span style="color: red;"><b> </b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span style="color: red;"><b><strong>Stimulates the brain:</strong></b></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span>Singing requires memorising lyrics and following a melody as well as
connecting words with emotion. Breathing while singing brings more
oxygen to the brain, which results in neurons firing, enhancing mental
awareness, concentration and memory.<br />
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">3.<span style="color: red;"><b> </b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span style="color: red;"><b><strong>Reduces stress:</strong></b></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span>When you sing, your brain releases feel-good chemicals including <span style="color: red;"><b>
endorphins</b></span>. This makes singing an effective mood lifter and a valuable
tool in <span style="color: red;"><b>alleviating depression</b></span>. Singing with a group develops a sense of
community and belonging, thereby reducing anxiety. Singing is even used
as <span style="color: red;"><b>therapy for people with cancer, dementia and for stroke survivors</b></span>.<br />
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody">4. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: red;"><strong>Natural healer:</strong></span><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: red;"><b></b></span></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span>Other than time, music is a great healer. Singing has similar effects on
the body and mind. It ensures physical, mental, psychological and
social well-being. It also <span style="color: red;"><b>improves the posture and breathing</b></span>, as it
increases the capacity of the respiratory system.<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"></span></span></span></span><br />

confident voice. It can improve your ability to use your speaking voice
with more clarity and confidence. Singing releases a hormone called <span style="color: red;"><b>
oxytocin</b></span>, which helps <span style="color: red;"><b>reduce anxiety</b></span>, thus helping you overcome your
fear of public speaking. Oxytocin also <span style="color: red;"><b>increases feelings of trust</b></span>,

Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be<br />
In working or in waiting, another year with Thee.<br />
Another year of progress, another year of praise,<br />
Another year of proving Thy presence all the days.<br />
<br />
Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace,<br />
Another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face;<br />
Another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast;<br />
Another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest.<br />
<br />
Another year of service, of witness for Thy love,<br />
Another year of training for holier work above.<br />
Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be<br />

The church's one foundation
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
she is his new creation
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
by water and the Word.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
From heaven he came and sought her
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
to be his holy bride;</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
with his own blood he bought her,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
and for her life he died.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Elect from every nation,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
yet one o'er all the earth;
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
her charter of salvation,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
one holy name she blesses,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
partakes one holy food,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
and to one hope she presses,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
with every grace endued.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Though with a scornful wonder
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
we see her sore oppressed,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
by schisms rent asunder,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
by heresies distressed,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
yet saints their watch are keeping;
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
their cry goes up, "How long?"
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
And soon the night of weeping
</div>
shall be the morn of song.</div>

learn this music teacher, I had to know the kids and quickly
understand their potential. For this reason I have set up an
intervention plan that includes </span><span style="color: red;"><span lang="en"><b>easy
rhythm games</b></span></span><span lang="en"> (to be implemented
with the voice, hands and feet, possibly with other movements of the
body) and </span><span style="color: red;"><span lang="en"><b>games of

"question and answer". Finally, I proposed the most famous
of Christmas songs ("Silent Night"), even if it is not the
easiest for both the rhythm and for the extension of the vocal part.</span></span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Is
it more important to be able to read music or play by ear? I really
don't know the answer, but I know they are both important. I am
teaching my son who is eight to play the piano and though we focus
mostly on reading music, I am already teaching him to play by ear.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">One
of the things I hate to hear my kids say is "I can't". In most cases
they can if they want to badly enough. When I tell pianists they need
to learn to play by ear, the first thing they often say is "I can't."
Don't say that! Just start practicing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So how can you start learning? Here is a simple plan.</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Learn to pick out a melody of any simple hymn.</span></li>
<li>Learn to play the melody in several different keys (preferably all of them).</li>
<li>Pick a key (C is a good choice) and start playing the melody in the
right hand. As you play, experiment with simple triads in the left hand
in the octave just below middle C. In almost every case, either the I,
IV, or V chord will work. In the rare cases where none of those chords
work, either skip the chord or cheat and look in the hymnal.</li>
<li>Once you know the melody and the supporting chords, you can start
improvising a bit. Play the chord in simple arpeggios in the left hand
or move the melody to the left hand and play chords in the right hand.
Or try some inversions in the chords.</li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To
make it easier, let me refresh your memory on the I, IV, and V chords
in the key of C. This is the octave that they will sound best in if you
are playing them without any inversion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><img alt="" src="http://www.greghowlett.com/images%5Cplaybyear11.jpg" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Let
me pause for a moment and remind you that I am making some assumptions
about your current knowledge of theory. For example, I am assuming that
you understand how to identify and play I, IV, and V chords. If you do
not, please find a book or <a href="http://www.nicolasfredda.it/" target="_blank">website</a> that you can learn from before
continuing this lesson. Knowing the I, IV, and V chords in each key is
absolutely critical to your ability to learn from these lessons.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Some
great things will start happening are you start faithfully working
through these simple steps. Don't overdo it--15 minutes a day is
sufficient. Don't worry if the sound is not wonderful. The important
thing is that you are starting to crawl. You will be able to run
later. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am going to cover step 4 in much more detail in the next lesson. For the time being, just work on steps 1-3.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Practice strategy:</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Practice
steps 1-3 on "Jesus Loves Me." Learn to play it in a minimum of four
keys including C and work on step 3 in the key of C. Then try it in
Db. If you have time, add another song.<br /><br />Sources: <a href="http://www.greghowlett.com/blog/free-lessons/061111009.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.greghowlett.com/blog/free-lessons/061111009.aspx </a></span></span></span><br />
