Introduction
Jacques Offenbach was a German composer who lived about 150 years ago. This piece is from his opera, Tales of Hoffman.
There are two sections in it and they are similar in rhythm, but there is a big difference in the way they are played.
See the lesson video for more info.
This is a really pretty piece and I think you’re going to love it.

Opera Arias
This is a video in which Maciek O’Shea, who is an opera singer tells you about and sings a whole bunch of operatic arias. Aria is what a song in an opera that is sung by one person is called. It’s a fun video and I hope you enjoy it. Opera is one of my favorite types of music.
