Learn To Play Hero: Mariah Carey

With excitement in the air as Halloween approaches, my grandson wants to dress up as a "Hero" for his costume. I asked him what he had in mind, since he is 5 years old... and he said, "A cop!" His response reminded me of a very popular song in 1993 sung by the beautiful and talented, Mariah Carey. (Hero)

It's a moderately slow song in the Key of D with 4/4 time.
The words and music are by Walter Afanasieff and Mariah Carey.

Joy To The World

This inspiring Christmas Carol, Joy To The World,  was written by Isaac Watts in 1719, the founder of English hymn writing. It was first published in 1719. The music is usually attributed to George Frederick Handel. I've changed some of the original chord charts here.

Here is one of the best piano tutorial's for the song, Hero:

And I would love to invite you to see Jermaine Griggs introduce the Song Robot and watch his video demonstration learning the song Hero.
http://www.hearandplay.com/main/valentines-day-learn-hero-in-slow-motion

So, here's my last post re: the Song Robot. If you have a PC the music software works great. If you have a Mac, you'll be using midi files in Garage Band on their virtual keyboard. Last sales pitch...

Hi,

As you may know from my last e-mail,
my friends over at Hear and Play Music
have just released their new software
called, "Song Robot."

I know the name sounds funny but with
the power of technology, your computer
can now show you how to play literally
thousands of songs already available on
the internet.

You can literally turn your computer
into a song-teaching machine... that
never sleeps, never charges by the
hour... doesn't get frustrated... and
repeats as much as you want!

More info at:
Virtual Keyboard

You simply load song files into it (which
they give you dozens to get started) and
the Song Robot shows you, on demand, how
to play them on this huge virtual keyboard
that lights up.

More info at:
New Software Tool

Here's what it does:

* It can slow down songs, "turtle speed."

* It transposes songs to all 12 keys so
  you're not stuck in ONE key.

* You have the choice of learning with huge,
  red colored notes that light up or a
  real-looking 3d version of a piano.

* You can stop, pause, rewind, fast forward.

* You can even load your favorite audio files
  and have it remove vocals so you can practice
  (they can even be slowed down and put in all
  12 keys... real albums!)


Visit:
Piano Software

For a limited time, they're making you an
unbeatable deal on the song files... and
throwing the song robot in at no cost!

Once you get your hands on this, you'll see
why so many are excited about it.

Visit:
Song Robot

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail
me.

All the best,
