Video and Score—Prelude 1: Lullaby from a Paper Boat

I started out this piece as a simple study for one of my students to practice left hand finger independence. But while it does have a bit of that, it’s really more of a study in delicacy of expression and bringing out both musical voices to create a whole picture. As I wrote more of these short pieces, I decided to call them Preludes instead.

It’s all in 1st position, with one “pinky stretch” that will be a bit of a challenge to beginners.

Yes, that’s “water” in the background. I got it from this amazing website: http://mynoise.net/, which demonstrates the mind & body-altering power of sound in a really neat way that you can explore at your leisure.
