  • Hello and welcome back. I'm Joseph Hoffman.

  • Today we are going to learn how to find C D and E on the piano.

  • To make it a little more interesting, I've made up a story to share.

  • So let's come over to the piano for the story of Piano Street.

  • Once upon a time, there was a boy who lived on Piano Street.

  • He was walking up the street home from school one day,

  • and on Piano Street there was a dog house. These two black keys right here

  • make a dog house, so guess who lived in the dog house?

  • Well, of course it was a dog.

  • And it so happens that the white key in between any two black keys on Piano Street

  • is called D for dog.

  • Now, this was one of those mean dogs, the kind you want to stay away from

  • with sharp teeth and a spiky collar,

  • and the boy did not want to mess with that dog. So he thought to himself:

  • How am I going to get past this dog?

  • Then he had an idea.

  • He remembered that he had a bone in his lunchbox leftover from his lunch that day.

  • So, he opened up his lunchbox,

  • threw the bone into the doghouse, and the mean dog ran inside

  • and he was able to run by as fast as he could.

  • He was safe.

  • Well, it so happens on Piano Street

  • there was another doghouse. Do you see these two black keys here?

  • These two black keys make another dog house.

  • So, the boy started to feel nervous when out came

  • one of those big furry slobbery dogs who just like to lick you all over.

  • It was so nice and tame it came out and licked him on the nose, and then the boy kept on going.

  • Now, can you find any other dog houses on Piano Street?

  • Look for two black keys.

  • can you point to the two black keys that we haven't found yet?

  • If you're pointing here you're correct.

  • So, the white key in between these two black keys is also called D.

  • It's easy to find D's on your piano

  • because all you have to do is look for white key in between a group of two black keys.

  • We don't want the groups of three black keys, only the groups of two.

  • Now, on your own piano at home, can you find and play all of your D's?

  • Find a D, play it and say D until you've found every single one. So pause the video,

  • and find and play all the D's on your own piano, then press play when you're ready to continue.

  • Did you find all the D's?

  • Great job. Now let's keep going with our story.

  • These dogs are going to go to sleep and their dog houses.

  • Now, the next day

  • the boy was walking home again and the mean dog comes out

  • and he was back barking and snarling.

  • The boy was in trouble because he didn't have a bone that day.

  • He had had peanut butter and jelly for lunch.

  • 'What am I going to do?', said the boy.

  • Well, just then out of the tree came a cat, and this C is for cat.

  • It was a sneaky Siamese cat who loved to tease that dog, because the dog, as mean as he was,

  • he was actually afraid of cats.

  • So as soon as he saw that cat

  • he went whimpering back inside his doghouse.

  • 'Well thanks.', said the boy to the cat.

  • And he gave the cat a pat on the head and the kitty purred against his leg,

  • and the boy is able to keep on walking.

  • Well, it so happens in music that wherever there is a D,

  • the letter before it just like the musical alphabet has to be C.

  • So, guess what letter belongs right here before this D.

  • if you said C you're correct.

  • In front of every dog house D, there will always be a C on your piano.

  • So the easiest way to find a C is to simply look where D is and

  • look for the note right before it on the left.

  • Now, I'd like you to press pause again and go and find and play all the C's on your piano.

  • Whenever you find one, press it and say C

  • So press pause to try that, and then press play when you're ready to continue.

  • Great job finding all the C's. Now we're going to put all the animals back to sleep again.

  • And now on the third day,

  • the mean dog came out and he was feeling a bit upset

  • because he had been tricked twice now: once by the bone, and once by the cat.

  • And he was not going to let that boy get by again.

  • Now,

  • to help with my story, can you think of the letter that comes after D. What is it?

  • If you said E you are correct.

  • Well, it so happened at the zoo that day.

  • That the zookeeper forgot to lock the fence on the place where the elephants stay,

  • and so boom boom boom out of nowhere came an elephant, a giant elephant that came and

  • that dog took one look at that elephant and went whimpering back into his doghouse.

  • But hey, it was an elephant from the zoo so it was actually quite tame.

  • The boy gave him a pat on the side and kept on walking.

  • Well can you guess where another E is going to be?

  • If you said here or here you're correct.

  • Just like the musical alphabet after C D comes E.

  • So whenever you want to find an E on your piano, just look for a D and find the next key

  • after the two black keys on the right.

  • Now press pause one more time, go to your piano and find and play all the E's.

  • And then press play again when you're ready to continue.

  • Great job finding all the E's on your piano.

  • Now let's finish up with a game

  • to see if you remember everything we've learned so far about Piano Street.

  • I've invited my friend Monkey to come help with this game.

  • Monkey's going to play either a C a D or an E, and I'd like you to say out loud which key he's playing.

  • Ready? Here goes:

  • What did Monkey play?

  • If you said C you're correct.

  • You can just tell because it's the note right before the D in the doghouse.

  • Okay, here's another one.

  • What did Monkey play?

  • If you said D you're correct.

  • What key to Monkey play this time?

  • If you said C you're correct.

  • What key did Monkey play?

  • If you said E you're correct.

  • What key did Monkey play?

  • If you said D you're correct.

  • What key did he play?

  • If you said E you're correct.

  • Thanks Monkey.

  • but we're going to have to hear the rest of the story in another lesson.

  • You know, if I lived on Piano Street, I wouldn't be scared to walk past that mean dog.

  • You wouldn't?

  • Yep, animals don't scare me.

  • Well, I like animals too but I try to stay away from the ones that might bite me.

  • Hmm, not me!

  • With an animal that wants to bite you, all you have to do

  • is look them straight in the eye and--

  • and what?

  • Uh, uh, and run?!

  • Good idea.

  • Ahh, Shark!

  • Ahh, quick, down here!

  • I don't really want to eat him, it's just so fun to watch him run.

  • Where'd he go anyway? Oh well.

Hello and welcome back. I'm Joseph Hoffman.
