In Level 9, we begin by learning two more scales in parallel motion. After that, we’ll introduce arpeggios (broken chords) and learn to play them correctly. We’ll also learn a new rhythm: triplets. These are simply divisions of a beat into three parts.

There are several tutorials on very famous pieces in this level, including Simon and Garfunkel’s hit song “Scarborough Fair”, the Christmas melody “Jolly Old St. Nicholas”, and Offenbach’s famous “Can-Can.” For those looking for some more obscure but excellent pieces, you’ll find a few gems here as well.
