Name of this Piano piece? #pianomusic #adultpianobeginner #piano #pianolessons
Hey folks - one of my piano students played this section from a piece they learned many years ago. The only thing they remember is this short fragment, and that it was in a red adult piano book (no, not the Alfred). Please feel free to post what you think it might be in the comments below, and thank you!

    So I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this pattern of 7 notes used, but I have seen a few people refer to a sticking of R L L or L R R as a pugada. Pretty sure they’re only using the term pugada as a mnemonic device, but it makes it kind of easier to count your creation. Since paradiddle pugada lines up syllables to strokes. Just a thought, anyways cool video

    • @JasonDeCristofaro
      @JasonDeCristofaro Місяць тому

      Pugada is a great mnemonic device - that works really well vocally as a way of capturing the flow of the sticking. Thank you!

  • @thenecessitarian
    @thenecessitarian Місяць тому

    Septadiddle. I've also discovered this exact pattern a few years ago. I use it as one of a few septuplet templates for keeping track of the subdivisions. There's also a repeating hand pattern that's RllRRll. And the classic RlRlRll. As well as the alternating RLRllrr this one is based on the sticking for the five stroke roll with two singles added to it. The possibilities are vast if you start to orchestrate them around the kit and using them as ostinattos to solo over. Cheers!

      @JasonDeCristofaro 2 місяці тому

      Thank you for noting this, and you are correct that she did not write this song. That being said, I'm actually surprised she didn't because she is an accomplished musician who has written a lot of her own music. Something else that I wonder: in R&B music, it is very common for riffs and even the main hooks of songs to be improvised, so I wonder if the hook I covered in this video was something the songwriter wrote or something that she came up with while they were producing the song in collaboration in the studio.

    Yeah, some self-proclaimed music experts I know, give me sh*t for listening to pop songs. But there is a lot of work put into them, and a lot of it is done by a team of really good musicians. Even if the music is simple from a theory standpoint, then they usually make up for it on the production side.

    I'm diggin these coordination exercises. I just started playing about 2 months ago, started with a practice pad then got a snare and kick practice pad and then hi hats. Modest to say the least but enough to work on these exercises. Over the next couple of months I'll be on the hunt for a crash and ride and keep them tucked away until I have enough space to get a shell pack and set up the whole kit. I think being limited to the 3 basic pieces for the next few months will benefit me in that I will be focused more on developing pocket and won't be distracted by other cool things to bang on.

    • @JasonDeCristofaro
      @JasonDeCristofaro 3 місяці тому

      Thank you so much! And your current setup is a great place to start! I have done gigs with nothing but a snare drum and a pair of brushes, so any setup works as long as you are learning what you want to and achieving your musical goals. One suggestion: if space is a concern, you might consider getting a floor tom and using it as a kick drum. Another option is to take a carbon fiber snare drum case and use it as a kick. I have actually done this, and - depending on the case - it can create a pretty okay sounding kick drum substitute!
