I analyzed along the video and really enjoyed it. I second the comments below that I would love to see more videos like this especially for classical piece analysis for beginner levels. just subscribed to the channel. really appreciate the great content!
Very helpful video Alyson. Question…what is the best way to not rely on muscle memory so much. I can play very well in a certain key however I would struggle learning a piece in a different key.
@@Charlie-f9s Thanks for the comment, Charlie! The best way to not rely on muscle memory is to read more music and understand it better. Muscle memory is immensely important, but must be complemented with the other types of memory: Auditory, Theoretical, and Visual Memory. One way I got better of easing my way off muscle memory so much was to force myself to never look down at my hands when playing through pieces. This would force me to interpret patterns visually. I did this because as a student I’d often memorize more often than sight read.
@@patboily You make a great point! However, knowing the chords can actually make you go faster since you don’t have to read note by note but can chunk information into sections. Then practice hands together and go slowly. Speed it up little by little. Thanks for the comment!
Do you enjoy learning Music Theory? Comment down below 👇🏼
I would love to see more videos like this where a piece of music is analyzed. And just enough theory to complement.
@@Charlie-f9s Great idea! Will keep that noted.
Yes
Very instructive.
Thank you. Hope you learned something!

I think I may have been the commenter you talk about in your intro. It's very nice to see you follow through. It earned you my subscription.
You were! Glad you liked it!

It's not about these 3 chords but the rythm in 2/4 and the speed of this piece
