Thank you for this explanation. I am amazed at how many piano teachers barely teach technique to beginners. It's as if technique has to be taught at more advanced levels.
Alberti bass has another purpose, especially in Mozart: The bottom note of the pattern actually plays a melody of its own, often in counterpoint to what's happening in the right hand. It's very useful to explore this voice movement. You may have to further emphasize the left hand pinkie function to make this work.
Great lesson. Alberti bass is my nemesis for my inner ear. When I read notes I often have vertigo and can't continue playing. It's an old problem, so there's not much I can do. There's some music I avoid playing. I'm working on technical exercises to try to overcome this, but it seems to be a long process.
Hi, I'm really surprised to see and hear that you have to break this down to the audience. I mean, AI instinctively been doing this FROM DAY ONE. Since DAY ONE(I started playing the piano as an adult 10 years ago!) I instinctively/intuitively felt that 'heee, there's just no way you're gonna be able to GET A HOLD OF individual notes. For example: the moment you showed the sheet at 2: 45, MY auto-pilot automatically recognized this as what is known in JAZZ, as a 'SEMI-WALKING BASS'. On a private note: don't tell anybody this: YOU'RE SUCH A JOY TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

hi ashlee great lessons and tips could you please tell me who the clarinetist is at the end of your video's
It’s just a sound option from iMovie 😬 not sure
Thanks!
Oh my gosh thank you so much!!!
Forgive my ignorance but why is it called "ALBERTI BASS", Ms. Young?
It’s attributed to a composer with the last name Alberti and it usually happens in the bass :)
