It certainly isn't easy for an inexperienced player to read both bass and treble stave notes together.? It gets harder when those bass notes become multiple notes as in a chord.? You have been given a bit of practice in learning bass notes so that you understand what they are and this knowledge will be useful in the future for picking out variations and bass effects but the really good news is that you need only read the one stave - the treble -? and use your knowledge of chords to produce a most satisfying sound.??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

CONCLUSION OF LESSON 4.?

Please pause now for quiet revision and make sure you understand the meaning of sharps, flats and naturals.? Don't be concerned if you are slow at learning new concepts as they are presented, this is natural.?

PLEASE REMEMBER TO COUNT AND PLAY SLOWLY at first.? Make sure your you do not speed up your counts as you go from bar to bar.? You must be on your guard and always finish at the same tempo as you start.? Speeding up is a common fault which will slow down your progress.? After careful practice you will find that you are able to speed up without difficulty
