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.  

This tutorial goes up to almost 70 parts! – so please use the ‘search’ function on the site if you are having trouble finding a specific part, they are all listed numerically to make finding each part easier.

Why such a long tutorial?. Well, this tutorial disects each part of the song up into tiny little snippets, making it a lot easier to learn and put together. If the tutorial was made in 1 or 2 parts, you’d have a lot of problems finding which part you left off at, so having it in so many sections makes it a lot easier.

Have Fun! – Credit goes to Hugh Sung for this wonderful tutorial.  

I’ve stuck this in the Expert Piano section , because while most of the actual notes played may be relatively easy enough for most intermediate players , the actual idea of using and understanding modes and then improvising on them is a bit harder to learn.

Also , check out some of the left hand stretches , some are about 16 semitones long so this may be difficult for those with little hands
