How to Analyze a Piano Song in Eb (E Flat)

Now we're going to go through the first two, and we're going to just analyze the simple melody line that we have in front of us. Right down here, E flat, there's E flat, there's our one right, so you got one, two, three, four, five, one, five, six, five, six, five, four, three, two, three, four, three, three, one, one, flat, three, two, one, seven, six, five, and you see how easy it is and I can play that. One, five, six, five, six, five, four, three, two, three, four, three, one, one, five, three, dah, dah, dah, dah, do, do, do, do. So you can go through an analyze tunes on your own at home and again, I want to point out the actual quarter note values, and the note values. You have the quarter note, four quarter notes in a measure. Eighth notes, one and two and. This is a triplet, which three quarter notes take up the space of two quarter notes, so you have one, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, notice I'm beating twice. One, two, three, and then you have eighth again, and these are sixteenth notes. Four sixteenth notes in a beat. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, etc.. Again, a lot of the melodies you are going to read are standard jazz tunes so you're probably going to hear them on records time after time again. So you really just have to find those notes and put a little soul behind it and you'll be playing these tunes in no time.
