Part 3 of the huge ‘How To Play: Clair De Lune‘ piano tutorial.

Now we get started learning the very first notes of Debussy’s “Clair de lune”. Using the G clefs in both hands, we can easily map out where to find the notes, keeping in mind the special rules governed by the Key Signature that changes most of the notes to flats. We also learn about ties and how they’re used to extend the length of notes. I also show how I’m using a special program to better illustrate how I’m using the damper pedal (far right) to control how notes are sustained and released.
