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:
Day 1 - Ländler 1
Day 2 - Ländler 3
Day 3 - Ländler 5
Day 4 - Ländler 11
Day 5 - Ländler 10
Day 6 - Ländler 2
Day 7 - Ländler 4
Day 8 - Ländler 9
Day 9 - Ländler 12
Day 10 - Ländler 8
Day 11 - Ländler 7

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