Sapphire Jazz | Piano Safari

Details

Description

These songs have been recorded for my online piano students as a means to work on their duet playing skills. They are also a valuable resource for in-person students to practice their pieces between lessons. Each video starts with a 2-beat, 3-beat, or 4-beat count-in depending on the time signature of the particular song. Listen carefully to these beats as they set the tempo and let you know when to start playing.

YouTube videos can be slowed down, a useful feature for those who want a bit more time! Go to the settings (either a gear symbol below the screen, or a hamburger menu in the top right corner), select Playback Speed, and choose from the options. I find that 0.75x is a great working speed in the beginning.
