Miryang Arirang

Traditionnel (Corée) · Level 3 (Late beginner) · traditional · Piano

The Arirang of Miryang, in south-east Korea: livelier and merrier than the standard Arirang, in three compound beats (9/8). E pentatonic scale. An easy arrangement in E minor: the right hand plays the tune, the left hand holds a drone fifth.

How to practise it

  • Listen first: the site plays it while the score scrolls.
  • Wait mode: the score waits for you at every note, at your own pace.
  • Tempo challenge: play in time, with a score and a map of the bars you got right.
  • Work in four-bar phrases, hands separately then together. Keep the left hand softer than the tune: let the right hand sing.
