Learning the Final Measures of a Piano Melody in B Major

Video Transcript

RYAN LARSON: Now, we're at our last two measures and we have two familiar chords, our A major chord and our G sharp 7th chord. We've got both of those under our fingers. And then we have this repeating melody line, 4, 5, 4, 5, and then 5, 4, 3, 2 at the end there and this should just be a regular note. Again, dotted notes get their value plus half so this gets three beats, right? A half note gets two beats plus one beat. So, if this was a dotted quarter, it'd get one and a half beats. But this measure here, if this had three beats we'd have a five-beat measure 'cause we've got these eighth notes so that's a typo, that's my bad. So, we can go through and play this last line now. We got this nice melodic thing going on. And then you're back at the top. And we'll go through and play the whole piece from beginning to end in our next segment.
