Lyrics:
You’d better talk to the preacher – Tell him how you feel
And listen close to the preacher – Tell you love’s for real
He’ll lead you out of the darkness – Into the light
You’ll find how happiness lies – In treating everyone right
The preacher preaches on Sundays – All through the day
And those who go there to listen – Cheer him when he says
He’ll lead you out of the darkness – into the light
You’ll find how happiness lies – In treating everyone right

Hi Alex, re: Etude – do you want me to memorize this before I post?
Hi Diana Roy! I don’t expect you to memorize the etude, I write these to give you some exemples of how to improvise using the 4 levels of improvisation. It’s a good exercise for reading and technique. I’d love to hear you play the etude at the tempo of your choosing, we aim for accuracy before speed! Chorus 3 and 4 are pretty challenging!
Ok got it!
