A Tutorial for Timber on the Piano

All pentatonic melodies can be played on the black notes of the piano alone and Timber is no exception. It mainly just uses the 3 black notes and with occasional Db to the right and Eb to the left.

Piano Tutorial Step 2: Add the Left Hand Bass

We only need 4 notes for the bass piano part. Start with Eb, move up to Gb, descend to Db and finally a Cb (also known as B). Just follow the piano tutorial video – it’s easy to fit in a coffee break!

Train Your Ear Using the Kodaly Method

There’s much more to The Kodaly Method than just singing solfege, but let’s get that going first! Pentatonic scales are easy to pitch and learn. They quickly develop your use of the “do-re-mi” words and the Curwen / Kodaly Solfege handsigns! A developed musical ear improves the connection between what you hear in your mind and what you play at your fingertips. You will quickly become a more accomplished piano player and piano improviser.

If you already read piano notes, here’s the main melody in simple piano treble clef notation.

Timber Improvisation & Piano Cover

Here’s my attempt at a coffee-break improvisation on Timber. I deliberately only took 2 minutes and this is my 2nd take. The aim is spontaneous piano improvisation for fun, not study recordings at this stage! Please send your piano improvisations for us to hear and share too!
