Description

Who doesn't like a challenge that doesn't take too long (less than 2 weeks!!!) This course is split into 12 days, 1 day per piece. The order of the pieces has been arranged to gradually increase difficulty and each time a new core technique is introduced a specific "technical exercise" is used to illustrate and work the technique in isolation, in preparation for its integration in the piece featuring it.

Core techniques featured in this course:

  • clamping technique (not full 6 strings clamping, just "small" clamping, easier but still extremely useful as it is very very often used)

  • pulling-off

  • hammering-on

  • grace notes using pulling-off/hammering-on (single and double grace notes)

  • full chords (using the thumb to play all 6 strings at once)

  • trills (how to recognise them on a music sheet, what they are made of and how to play them)

  • tremolo (how to recognise a tremolo on a music sheet and what sort of technique is used for the right hand to play them quick)

Order of the pieces:

  1. Day 1 - Ländler 1

  2. Day 2 - Ländler 3

  3. Day 3 - Ländler 5

  4. Day 4 - Ländler 11

  5. Day 5 - Ländler 10

  6. Day 6 - Ländler 2

  7. Day 7 - Ländler 4

  8. Day 8 - Ländler 9

  9. Day 9 - Ländler 12

  10. Day 10 - Ländler 8

  11. Day 11 - Ländler 7

  12. Day 12 - Ländler 6

By the end of this course you'll have added 12 pieces (an entire opus!) to your repertoire. What's not to like?
