This Gavotte is a simple but interesting piece to play since it brings in counterpoint and legato phrases against staccato accents in separate hands. When the student finishes working on this piece they will have better control of basic technique and simple trills that are essential for more advanced playing. The lesson starts with a full demonstration followed by a two- to four-measure sectional lesson of the entire songs describing notes and fingering.

Bill Brown began teaching music when he was in middle school alongside his mother, who was a respected classical piano teacher (Piano Teacher’s Guild Hall of Fame Recipient). In the mid 1980s he started recording lessons for his students to take home to learn “by ear.” He discovered that learning songs without any print or video helped his students develop their ability to pick out other songs “by ear” as well. The By Ear catalogue has rapidly expanded till now it includes over 1400 song lessons for more than a dozen instruments. Brown resides in South Georgia with his wife, also a music teacher, where he teaches and records lessons in his own private recording studio.
