Noodle Challenge Day 12
A Minor Twist
“Instead of focusing on who you are, focus on who you are becoming.”
Noodle Info
It’s back. But this time, take this tune on a journey to the dark side. Change it to minor.
It’s written in C major below; to make it into C minor, add Bb, Eb, and Ab when needed.
Psst…get out your recording app!
Your Challenge
Play the C minor scale to review the required black keys.
Play the “Heart and Soul” Pattern in Cm.
Cm = C Eb G
Ab = Ab C Eb
Fm = F Ab D
Gm = G Bb D (or you may like to keep the G chord major)
Add repeated, neighbor, and fill notes to the melody and accompany it with a left-hand pattern of your choice.
Extra: Add another twist: A driving rock ballad? A Burgmueller “Arabesque” look-a-like? A spooky slant?
Always ask yourself: What if I?
