Summer of ’42 is a 1971 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film based on the memoirs of screenwriter Herman Raucher.

  1. How can I get an English translation of the French, would make it a bit easier, although even in French very well done instructions.

    • If you watch the video on YouTube , you can activate the automatic subtitle and choose any langage. It’s translated by google so it’s far to be a good translation but good enough to follow the lesson. If there are parts you don’t understand, please tell me, I’ll add English subtitle manually or give you a free lesson on Skype or Zoom.

      • Yes the English translation by Google is kinda comical, it translate you are commenting on every sort of topic imaginable. Thank you for the answer..

    • I’m checking the automatic English translation and it’s very funny, it doesn’t understand the French note names and guessing something completely different. So the subtitles are not really helping. Just watch my fingers and you should have enough information to learn this song, I guess.

  2. Hi Francoise;
    It appears that the music sheet and the instructions for part 4 video are not in sync. No problems to follow part 1, 2 and 3 though. Please clarify.
    Thank you;
    Tuan

    • It’s possible that the lesson and the score are different. I made this tutorial for one of my student and sometimes I have to adapt the arrangement regarding his level.
