Prelude in C
By Bach – Early Intermediate

This beautiful and well-known prelude by Bach has not only been played as it is but also eventually became the musical setting for Charles Gounod’s “Ave Maria” which he composed in 1853. This piece is taught completely by ear in two to four measure sections using no print, music, or video. This allows the student to memorize the song while learning it and to bypass any difficulty or challenge in music reading. A full demonstration of the piece is included at the beginning of the lesson.
