How to play sheet music of Demi Lovato's version of the Anthem


The Star Spangled Banner is composed in a binary verse-chorus form.
This song follows the traditional model for the national anthem form.
Demi Lovato's score requires arduous effort. I will ad an easier one if this page will be popular.

The score contains two parts — for solo piano and voice. Skip the RH's part and play the vocal part in the RH if you don't want to sing.

Piano Playing Method


Accuracy in articulation are essential for playing The Star Spangled Banner piano sheet music.
Your tone should be pathetic and soft. There is no need to bang on the keyboard. Figuratively speaking, you should communicate a soothing sense of a dawn. To sound quietly, keep your fingers close to the keys and do some firm practice from the knuckles.
The articulation in this piece is tricky because it alternates between legato and staccato.
Accent every note, varying the accents each time you play. Once played lightly and up to speed, the ornament should flow naturally.
It’s worth trying out this technique for the entire song.

Among the hardest facets of piano playing is controlling a lightness of attack, and when coupled with playing at a faster speed, a reliable warm-hearted leggiero touch must rank as among the most prized piano skills.

Right Hand


Watch the performance of The Star Spangled Banner as you begin to learn the arrangement, in order to balance parts in left and right hands.

In playing any piano transcription of a song, the aim is to give the impression of a singer (the RH) that is being accompanied by a sensitive pianist (the LH). Imagine a duet between a band and a singer, so color the two hands differently. Coordinating the parts may take some time to organise convincingly.

Your RH plays a melody (topline) and the LH provides some harmony (accompaniment). First separate the melody from the accompaniment in the RH. Try singing the melody as you play, so you can mentally separate the topline from the accompaniment in the LH.

Count outloud to catch the rhythm in the melody that she belts.

Left Hand

After getting familiar with the RH, focus on the LH. The LH’s principal duty is to provide a harmony.
The LH is generally soft throughout.

Feel free to arpeggiate the LH chords especially if you can’t stretch your hand yet.
Get your hand in position for each chord before playing it.
A relaxed wrist will help you to balance chords so that all three notes sound at the same time.
Make full use of the pedal when calculating how best to present composers’ ingenious harmonies.


Pedal

The Anthem should sound light, in the tradition of the genre; it will not benefit from being bathed in pedal.
