2015 Recap


Grandchildren with LadyD

Here I am with 3 of my grandsons. Christmas was such a blessing for me to be surrounded with 5 grandchildren. We were singing the 12 Days of Christmas, sharing our gifts and talents. I hope your holidays have been filled with many warm memories to cherish for a lifetime.

As 2015 draws to a close, I'm highlighting 12 popular posts from my blog. I hope you enjoy revisiting them... or perhaps you may be reading them for the first time. Although this has been an exciting year for me to have held a piano recital at the skilled nursing facility in our town with so many talented piano students, I'm excited for the new year bringing a new website (this one, only better!) that I'll be working on, including a new teaching approach for preschoolers. I can't wait. Thank you dear readers!

How To Play: Don't Worry, Be Happy

Bobby McFerrin an American vocalist

In 1988 Bobby McFerrin, an American vocalist, wrote a very catchy song... Don't Worry, Be Happy. He's also a 10 time Grammy Award winner. He's worked with Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. For more information on this songwriter, visit his website, http://spirityouall.bobbymcferrin.com/

No, I'm not into the philosophy of Meher Baba, but I think this acapella song in just 4 words is pretty cool. Dont Worry Be Happy 12"

 I play it in the Key of Bb, 4/4 time signature and brightly. First, here's a chord chart that I found online.

Intro: 
D/F#  G  A  G/B (2 x's)


Verse 1:
D/F#               G
    I pray for better days to come
A                     G/B
    I pray that I would see the sun
D/F#               G
    'Cause life is so burdensome
A                   G/B 
    When every day's a rainy one
D/F#                G
    But suddenly there's no more clouds
A               G/B
    I believe without a doubt
D/f#              G         
    That heaven sent an angel down
A                        G/B
    And then she turned my life around
D/F#                 G
    You know and I know
A                     G/B
    Friends come and friends go
D/F#              G
    Storms rise and winds blow
A                 G/B
    But one thing I know for sure


Chorus:
          D/F#       G

I'm so warm inside
A              G/B
You give me peace

D/F#              G
    But when I close my eyes
A                     G/B
    And think of you to ease my mind
D/F#                    G
    You take me to another place
A                           G/B
    There's no more war, just love and grace
D/F#              G

A                 G/B
    Through all the battles
D/F#              G
    Baghdad to Israel
A                     G/B
    There's one thing I know for sure


Chorus:

HE WASHED MY EYES WITH TEARS

(E flat) Eb Bb He washed my eyes with tears that I might see, B7 Eb The broken heart I had was good for me; Bb He tore it all apart and looked inside, B7 Eb He found it full of fear and foolish pride. Ab Eb He swept away the things that made me blind Bb B7 B7 And then I saw the clouds were silver lined; Eb Bb And now I understand 'twas best for me B7 Eb He washed my eyes with tears that I might see. Eb Bb He washed my eyes with tears that I might see B7 Eb The glory of Himself revealed to me; Bb I did not know that He had wounded hands B7 Eb I saw the blood He spilt upon the sands. Ab Eb I saw the marks of shame and wept and cried; Bb B7 He was my substitute for me He died; Eb Bb And now I'm glad He came so tenderly; B7 Eb Ab Eb And washed my eyes with tears that I might see.


Can you think of a song that has 'tears' in the lyrics or song title?

celebrate, from praise music to pop. Here's a few.

With the strength to carry on
                  E(add9)G#        F#m7
And you cast your fears aside
          A/B              E
and you know you can survive
                        B/D#        C#m7
so when you feel like hope is gone
         C#m/B                 A(add9)
look inside you and be strong
                   E(add9)G#        F#m7

        E                  D9
It's a long road when you face the world alone
        C#m                            B4 B
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
        E                              D9
You can find love if search within yourself
        C                            B4   B
And the emptiness you felt will disappear

E                      C#m                              A
And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on
                        F#m            B9               E 
And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive
                               C#m                          A
So, when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong
                           F#m           B            E 
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you

Ooh - ooh
C    G/B  G             D
Lord knows - dreams are hard to follow
C             G      G D   Em     D
But don't let anyone tear them away
C    G/B G           D
Hold on - there will be tomorrow
C   G                   A
In time you'll find the way


E                      C#m                              A
And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on
                        F#m            B9               E 
And you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive
                               C#m                          A
So, when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong
                           F#m           B            E4 E A 
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you
       B4   B       E
That a hero lies in you

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,

"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." B.B.King
