Picture the first position as a spellbinding incantation, with the octave casting its mystical aura in the upper voice.

This position serves as a foundational charm, offering a steadfast guide for your hands on the keyboard, like a wizard with a reliable wand.

Now, let's venture into the second position, a realm where the third takes center stage in the upper voice.

Imagine starting a musical journey akin to J. S. Bach's Prelude 1 in C major from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book I. It's a magical incantation, a melody that dances through the air with the grace of a sorcerer's spell.

In the third position, envision the fifth taking its place on the bass in the upper voice.

It's a harmonious concoction, a melody that unfolds like the mystical Sol Fa Mi. This position, like a secret potion, adds brilliance and openness to your musical creations.
