Description
Are you a fan of Strictly Come Dancing?
Jonty Tunes – Let’s Dance! – for Flute & Piano (grades four to six plus); offers a selection of fourteen fun, varied and progressive ballroom dances; including Latin, Jazz, Baroque, Viennese and Music Hall.
Identifying dance styles:
A combination of Time Signature, Speed, Rhythm, Mood, Mode, Genre and Instrumentation contribute to make a dance style.
Points of interest:
“Minuet & Trillo – a typing error? – What should it be called? – When did this dance originate?” “Why is the Courante so cross?” “Why is the Tango called “For One” ?” “In Mu-mmy Da-ddy; how many falling minor thirds can you find? – Why is this relevant to the title?” “Research and listen to some Thelonious Monk – Why is this piece Nomadic? (hint:- accidentals!).” “Why do you think “Three T’s Please” is an appropriate title?”
These dances are in keys found in the scales and arpeggios needed for grades four and above; learning these dances, and becoming familiar with the keys, should help to master them.
