"Clair de lune from scratch" is a video lesson series designed to help folks who have never played the piano before get started right away learning how to play this masterpiece by Claude Debussy. The secret is to learn in small portions, and I hope this will be a fun learning experience for everyone who follows along. You'll get an overview of the whole piece in the first video, along with a preview of the different camera angles, screenshots of the digital sheet music score, and a digital representation of the damper pedal to help you learn more dynamically. Please post questions in the comments below, or better yet - send me your video responses showing what you'd like help with, and I'll do my best to integrate those questions alongside the video tutorials. Above all - have fun!
You can download a PDF of the score as part of the Suite Bergamasque from IMSLP.org here:
