Description

Arirang is one of Korea's most beloved folk songs, and is also a wonderful example of a song built on the pentatonic scale. In this video, we explore how to play Arirang on the piano using only the black keys.

For music teachers, Arirang can be an excellent way for students to learn how to read music and play it on the keyboards. Using the pdf provided, students can label all the notes of the song (some labels have already been provided), and then then read their music using a keyboard to play the song. (I've done this exact thing with hundreds if not thousands of kids). So I hope you like it, and I hope it helps your students learn more about this wonderful world of music.


Disclaimer: Although this song is designed to be accessible and appropriate for children, its intended audience is adult musicians and music teachers who are interested in videos that visualize musical concepts to aid in their own music lessons and understanding.
