Space Walk. Piano Solo for Elementary from Galactic Adventures.
Space Walk
Are you ready for some cool, jazzy, walking bass?
This piece is fun, but it’s really all about learning rhythm. Encourage your students to sing along with the recording to get the feel of the melody and the Swing style.
Key: G Blues wth accidentals
Time signature: 4/4 , BPM = 132
Skill development: Swing eighth notes! Encourage your students to sing along with the recording to get the feel of the melody and the Swing style. Notice the staccatos - they are very important to playing in the Boogie or Blues style. Walking bass and typical boogie patterns. Eighth note rhythms with syncopation, look for the patterns - it’s very repetitive. Notice “Call & Response” type writing - Left and Right hand take turns. Octave 8va, higher and lower. Tremelo, Glissando, and Finger snaps, just because it’s fun. Reading Key Signatures. Left hand cross over notes as part of the melody. Follow the dynamics for extra drama! No Road Map to follow - go from the beginning to the end - have some fun!
What level: Late Elementary
How long: Cover + 2 pages music. Performance time 01:10.
