Learn an embellished version of “Eighth of January” in this lesson. As in the lesson on embellishing “Old Joe Clark,” you’ll learn a version of the melody that is filled out with some more melodic ideas. Sharon plays the first embellished version of both parts all the way through, and then shows you each part, phrase by phrase, giving you the chance to play each phrase along with her slowly. She also shows you a few variations you can add to the B part, including a sliding double stop and a triplet, and finishes by playing the entire embellished version at a medium tempo twice through, so you can play along with her.
