Teaching videos and student performances for Making Music with Christy
ABRSM Grade 5: Ladies in Lavender - Bb clarinet and piano (practise video)
This practise video is at the tempo suggested by ABRSM (80) with tempo changes at the points marked. It uses a synthesised clarinet sound for the clarinettist to test their tuning against. The piano accompaniment was also recorded on a keyboard and therefore has limited dynamic control, but overall should be sufficient. The piano accompaniment part is available as a separate video for rehearsing and recording with as required: th-cam.com/video/KpEppnJBB2c/w-d-xo.html

This piano accompaniment was recorded on a keyboard and therefore has limited dynamic control, but overall should be sufficient for rehearsing and recording with as required. Some of my students have online lessons and we've struggled to find them accompanists for performing and recording their exams with locally.

The Sad Princess - fourth piano piece
มุมมอง 88หลายเดือนก่อน
This is a Ukrainian folk melody. The lyrics in this version are of my own composition. (We sometimes make up lyrics to aid with memorisation.) This piece is in 6/8 time, so while the tempo may seem slow, you have to multiply it by 3 to get a true sense of the speed. 00:00 Full speed (tempo 46) 00:51 Tempo 30 02:06 Tempo 35 03:10 Tempo 40 (see if you can remember the notes without the video) 04:...

Tempos 60 - 90 It is useful to incorporate the accompaniment as early as possible to get used to how the two parts fit together. It is also helpful to check your tuning against the given parts. Finally, it is important to hold your own, so the piano accompaniment is given on it's own for you to try that. 00:00 Demo (tempo 90) 01:07 Tempo 60 - Clarinet & Piano 02:44 Tempo 70 - Clarinet & Piano 0...
"Nothing Else Matters" (Metallica) - Rock School London Classical Guitar Grade 4
มุมมอง 6923 หลายเดือนก่อน
I am a pianist but have always loved the guitar and landed up teaching it when filling in short-term for other teachers who taught multiple instruments. I'm currently working through the grades myself. My technique is by no means 100% but I've struggled to find renditions of some of the classical guitar pieces for Rock School that are actually played on a classical guitar. So until something be...

The Dancing Boy - second piano piece
มุมมอง 486 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the second piece. It is a "copy cat" song with each phrase played twice. You might like to play the first loudly, and the repeat softly to sound like two different people singing. Again we use rounded middle fingers and play from the elbow. We are now on the white notes. I have made up my own English lyrics to this Eastern European folk song to help you remember the notes: The dancing b...

Wow what a skill
❤
I love you dear mine was 21 july
Amazing❤❤❤
Your voice is so pleasant. Have you ever thought doing asmr?
What is the fingerpicking pattern? Thank you.
There is a link to the pattern below the video.
Underated
I love how it has different tempos ❤😊
Thank you. I’m glad you’ve found it helpful xx
very good
Hi, I love this instrumental, well done! May I ask your permission if I can please use this backing track for my performance to sing over it and display on social media? Please let me know? I’d highly appreciate it. Thanks! God bless
Thank you. I have no problem with that.
@@christykalfas5928 Thank you!
Not understandable! You show the notes only, not the signs above for people like me, who cannot read notes! People, who can read notes, don't watch such vids!
Perhaps I need to explain that my videos are for my music students, who come for lessons in order to learn to read, write and perform music. They use these videos as additional practise resources at home. Anyone else is welcome to use the videos free of charge if they have purchased the same books or are learning the same songs in their own music lessons.
I LOVE IT!!! Thank you. <3
Thanks Christy. Enjoyed that. I'll play along with you. Best wishes.
❤️🏴☠️
💖🌼
Beautiful!
VERY nice. Can you perform no.27 from graded studies for Recorder
wonderful video I wish the chords were on on the screen but I will figure it out thank you have a wonderful new years 👍
what does that weird G mean?
i think it is the G chord
I upvote anybody who plays rock’n’roll 😊 but this classic I prefer playing in A E E7 B7 and just a touch of D in the beginning. With A D E7 it sounds more like a lullaby 😆
Thank you! This particular version is for people who have only just started and have just got the hang of the first three chords. But I love your suggestions - it would make a great way to revisit the song a few weeks down the line and make it a little more challenging once they've learned the B7 chord. Do you perhaps have a video demonstration that I could refer people to?
@@christykalfas5928 hey Christy! I have not done any videos of my own yet, but you can look up Jez Quayle from Rock’n’roll Songbook channel, he has a demo where he plays a medley all in A E B7, including Rock Around the Clock. For myself I just refined it a bit by adding E7 in each verse as in: E Put your glad rags on E Join me hon’ E We’re gonna have some fun E E7 When the clock strikes one E7 A We’re gonna rock A Around the clock tonight.. Etc..
@@tommie6936 thank you, that's very kind.

Ah Ev, miss you and our various bands loads! Fills my heart that you've stuck with your music and are passing it on to others!
Thank you
