Prelude

Prelude

With a very flowing feeling

• Sometimes when I see my little girl twirling in the

that she won’t be little for very long. Before I knowthis song real slow or playing it with a lot of pauses,definitely pick playing this song real slow.

• If you find yourself forced to choose between playingleaves or playing dress-up in the mirror, I realize

(My Little Girl)

it I’ll be watching her shine in a performance;listening to her give the graduation speech; or seeingher look so beautiful as she gets ready for a specialdate. In those moments I’m sure I’ll wonder where thetime went. With amazement, I’ll think to myself,

"That’s my little girl!" 

 I think the first seven measures of this song are sevenof the finest measures I’ve ever written. (Actually, I stole them from a Bach piece: Prelude in C)

One way to overcome double bass clef paranoia is to play the top clef with the left hand at first, thus convincing the brainthat it can play those notes. Then, without letting the brain know, sneak the right hand back into the picture.

Pedal ad-lib, except where noted 

This song flows kind of nice with a subtle accent on beat 1 and 3:

Air on the F String

written by Jon Schmidt

(from the album )To The Summit

Air on the F String

Side Notes: Helpful Hints:

  copyright ©2001

 Have a nice day

  =91-100 

• Sometimes during a show, I’ll have three people come

 piano. I then attempt to write a song using the threerush the tempo a bit.

• If you would like this song to sound horrible, simplyup out of the audience and each pick a note on the

notes. "Air on the F String" is one of the few "threenote" songs I’ve actually remembered. One time I wasmessing around with the song on a synth string settingand Michelle (that’s my wife) liked it so much thatshe wanted me to put it on an album. I’ve been hesitant 

because at the beginning the bass line is sosimilar to Bach’s famous "Air on the G string."  But since my latest album "To the Summit" wasdedicated to Michelle, I just had to score thissong for strings and put it on for her. What wehave here is a version transcribed for piano.

Dumb Song

written by Jon Schmidt(from )www.mp3.com/jonschmidt

Dumb Song

Side Notes: Helpful Hints:

  copyright ©2001

The Bumblebee Tuna jingle can be

  =132-142 (not too fast) 

• This is a dumb song I made up in high school that people still

except for the fact that the rhythm is real fun … and it has aa drummer. (Drummers generally get fired if they pause)

• Play this with pop-like rhythmic precision, as if you were yell for me to play in shows. I don’t know why they like it,

 pretty cool bass line. Other than that, it doesn’t really domuch. So I usually have to get up and make an idiot out of myself trying to dance and play the tune at the same timeso at least it will have some slight entertainment value.

FAQ: Why the strange Bumblebee Tuna reference? One day

while playing this song in an assembly at good ol’ Highland HighSchool, some classmates startled me by singing along with a Bumblebee Tuna commercial from the early 80s From then on, thesong became known as the Bumblebee Tuna Song. It has sort of stuck over the years.

P.S. I couldn’t include the Tuna jingle in the score because

(Bumblebee Tuna)

 I have no clue who to track down for the copyright permission.

P.S.S. Another song that works is Cat Stevens, "Another Saturday Night".

 sung anytime whilst playing this song

• Slowly master the first 8 bars before doing anything else(this part repeats over and over). Maybe don’t worry about the grace notes at first (theycan easily be added in later).

• Go ahead and delete any section of the song if you so desire

Make sure the tempo on this easy part matches the tempo of the hard parts.

Warning: Some student testers were tempted to swing the beat, which made it sound really dumb.

(Learning the first 8 bars with a slow enough metronome setting is most helpful.)

Bedtime Story

written by Jon Schmidt(from the album ) August End

Bedtime Story

Side Notes: Helpful Hints:

  copyright ©2001

With a slow lazy feel that doesn’t rush

  =71-81 

 = 1 beat ( also equals 1 beat)

Step 1: Count to 3 in each measure (count with a beat of course)

• Here's an easy-to-use 3/8 time formula for ya:

Step 2: Plug in this formula:

= 2 beats ( also equals 2 beats)

 = 3 beats

• A slow lazy feel is the key to this song. In fact thissong is plain terrible if it is rushed.

(a message from the department of redundancy department)

• To me this song takes you on a little journey. Muchlike a child is taken on a journey as they listen toa story at bedtime. The end of this song makes methink of tucking my own sleeping child in, turningoff the light and sneaking out the door.

Can't Help Falling In Love

written by Jon Schmidt(from the album )To The Summit

Can't Help Falling In Love

Side Notes: Helpful Hints:

  copyright ©2001

Circumambulatively

  =132-148

 

• If you ever go to Cheesecake Factory, get the Thaia set of drums.

• I play this song as if I were a drummer and the pianochicken wraps. They’re yummy!!

• The first part is a little tedious from a countingstandpoint. So I suggest learning measures 59-81 first.

• As in Prelude, using a strong underlying 2 beat accent ineach measure makes it a lot more fun to play. (Let the off beat feel stronger than the down beat.)

• I strongly suggest listening to how this song soundson the recording at mp3.com/jonschmidt for free.(please see ad on pg. 14)
