Thanks for explaining.
You are welcome.
Thanks a lot ! Have a nice day 😃
You are welcome.
Superb lesson yet again thankyou 👍
You are welcome.
Can you please tell me at what speed do you have your metronome at? I very much appreciate the way you explain the theory. I wish that I had started piano much earlier. I envy your skill and appreciate all of the dedication it must have taken. Thanks so much.
You're welcome! I have the metronome set at 60 on this video. It is in the description of each video as to what the setting is.
@@LetsPlayPianoMethods Thanks Didn’t know that either.
I have a question about this piece. On page 70 the third line, why is there a double line after the second measure? The same thing on pages 71 & 72. Thank you.
The double bars are used in music to indicate different sections of the piece. On page 70, they separate the introduction from the song itself. On page 72, they separate the verse from the refrain. It does not affect how you play the music.
Thank you very much!
I have a question about the staccato timing in this piece. Is it staccato for left hand only throughout the whole piece?
No. It is for the left hand quarter notes, or at least most of them. The right hand is staccato only where it is marked as such.
On page 72 line 4 measure two …shouldn’t that G be sharp? you are playing it as a regular G in the video… thank you for your help! 🌹🎹
No, there is no sharp sign here so it is a natural.
Also can you please comment on the fingering page 70, line 3, first measure? I find it confusing and awkward. Thanks
Yes, it is the black key that causes the problem here. The last note in the second line is played with the thumb, and you fold your hand slightly to let the 4th finger play the first note in the 3rd line. You can play the first note in the 3rd line with your 5th finger if you prefer and then you can play the whole measure in the 3rd line without crossing over the thumb. So the fingering in that measure would be 5-4-5-4-3-2-1. However, that makes you use your 4th and 5th fingers quickly when playing the triplet so you might not want to do that. I think the fingering in the books is fine.
@@LetsPlayPianoMethods Thank you for helping me with this.
@@LetsPlayPianoMethods I agree with this fingering of playing the B with the 5th finger. Not only does it makes sense but it returns the hand to the starting position of the section, since right after the 2nd measure on line 3 it's the end of the section. Yes I know, the book's fingering are suggestions, but in this case i think the book is just wrong
If this song is in the scale of A harmonic minor, why doesn't the A sound like the tonal centre?
I don't know.
@@LetsPlayPianoMethods I can tell by playing and listening that it's supposed to be played in A harmonic minor. But is it written in A harmonic minor though?
Since all the G's are sharped with incidentals it looks like it's written in A natural minor hence the need to indicate the G to be raised by half a step.
However how would you indicate (by means of the signature) that a piece is in A harmonic vs. natural minor?
@@kwzat Which minor mode used is not indicated in the key signature. It just depends on which notes are in the piece.
I think its because Hava Nagila is actually in Phrygian Dominant, the 5th mode of the harmonic minor, in this case the 5th of the A harmonic minor is E, so this is in E Phrygian Dominant which would make E its tonal centre
How do you recommend learning long pieces like this? I normally focus on one line at a time, to become confident before moving on to the next. If I were to follow that strategy here it would probably take me forever to complete the song.
Taker it in little pieces at a time. You can use lines, measures, phrases, or pages. It is up to you.
