Lesson 25: Exploring F (Long and Short Notes)

What Will You Learn in This Lesson?

In this lesson, we’ll explore the F note and revisit the idea of short and long notes. But this time, there’s a challenge—you won’t be using the sustain pedal!

How to Practice Effectively:

Spend 10-15 minutes with this exercise. Focus on alternating between short and long F notes, but instead of relying on the sustain pedal, hold the long notes with your fingers.

How Do You Know You’re Ready to Move to the Next Lesson?

Level 1 – Basic: You’ve improvised for 1 minute using short and long F notes without the sustain pedal.

Level 2 – Solid: You’ve improvised for 5 minutes, alternating between short and long F notes using only your fingers.

Level 3 – Pro: You’ve improvised for 10 minute using short and long F notes without the sustain pedal.

Fast Track Option:

If you can freely alternate between short and long F notes for 1 minute without using the sustain pedal, you’re ready to move on!
