Only use the Video Version, Learning Tracks to Learn the Notes

8/7/2014

0 Comments

 
In the first couple of bars for the tag of the song I'll Fly Away, there is a close knit set of pauses in the bass line.  These pauses are so close together that I am unable to put them into the score using Noteworthy Composer.  I  might latter on, find out that there are other ways to create the necessary tempo changes through this section and I will try to put them in, but I still need to have a feel for just how John wants us to make this section sound before trying any thing.


The actual reason I am passing this on to you though, is to emphasize that I am limited in the amount of musical expression I can insert into the video learning tracks I have created for you, be they in the form of tempo changes or volume changes, and things like those squiggly lines in the tag sections of I'll Fly Away, that tell us to ramp up or down from one note to another; there is no way that Noteworthy Composer allows me to insert these.


So rely on the video learning tracks to help you learn only the notes.  In some cases I have been able to put in expressions but these should serve only to remind you that, for example,  there is some tempo changes it this part of the song that we need to learn, and then wait to learn exactly how to perform these tempo changes from John at our practice sessions.
