It&#8217;s a perfect teaching piece for level 1 FJH/Faber students who like rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll and have learned to play 3-note chords. The song uses all root-position I-IV-V chords, with a broken left-hand &#8230; <a href="http://www.kristinaarellano.com/?p=363">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a 12-Bar Blues composition by Madelyn. In this piece, Madelyn uses major/minor 3rds in her left-hand chords. This is a fun supplementary piece for students learning about I-IV-V chords and the difference between major and minor.

		<description><![CDATA[This spring I began teaching students 12-Bar Blues as a means of learning improvisation, scales, and I-IV-V chords. Most students really enjoy the process, so I thought, what a great way to introduce composition!
