Introduction to “Clair de lune” Piano Lessons with Hugh Sung at Ashbury Music Hall

ashburymusichall.com I’d like to invite you to sign up for lessons with me at Ashbury Music Hall, covering Debussy’s “Clair de lune” from scratch, right from the comfort of your own home! My 12- week course lessons are designed for beginners who have never played the piano before or read a note of music. We’ll use the piece itself to learn the basics of music notation and piano technique. Ashbury Music Hall makes it incredibly easy to post video and audio comments between teachers and students – all you need is a computer with a broadband internet connection and a way to record audio into your computer, and optionally a video recorder as well (see my video for details). I’ll also work on a video to help with audio and video setups for students. I’m looking forward to personally helping you learn to play Debussy’s masterpiece “Clair de lune” – from scratch!

Clair de lune from Scratch: Piano Lesson #44, Measure 30 Pt. 2

Please visit PianoFromScratch.com to view all of the lessons and download the sheet music. We add the heroic right hand with some fingering gymnastics to save the left hand. The reason I use these fingerings is to help keep both hands from stretching beyond comfortable shapes, making it easy to use each hand as a “measuring stick” for cleaner jumps and position changes. Let me know if you find these fingerings helpful – if not, I’d be happy to “redo” this measure and show the more “traditional” fingering as an alternative. You can find all of the “Clair de lune from Scratch” lessons at http The sheet music is available in MusicReader format at www.pianofromscratch.com , and you can download a free demo version of MusicReader at www.pianofromscratch.com MusicReader is a program that gives you the ability to annotate your score with digital ink, just like I do on these lesson videos.
