Description:
Bass Recorder, Step 2 with Jody Miller 

Prerequisites: Either participation in the Beginning Bass class or the ability to play recorder at least one octave while reading bass clef.

Many think that the bass lines are the easiest to play.  After all, the bass line can often be less technically demanding and might even have more rests than the other lines.  Experienced ensemble players know that a weak bass player can really hold back the progress of an ensemble.  The bass line is truly the foundation upon which a piece is written, defining the chord structure, the rhythmic backbone, and even the core sound of the group.  In this class, participants will learn to analyze and play idiomatic bass lines that set up an ensemble for success.  We’ll also learn a bit about the inconsistencies of publishers and how to play music written in treble clef and how the bass recorder might sometimes function as the alto or tenor voice within the ensemble.  Sessions will be presented through Zoom.  A computer with good speakers or high quality headphones are suggested.

Required materials:  A bass recorder in F, a music stand, a neck strap, a pencil

All other class materials will be provided in PDF format a few days before the start of class.  Participants should either print the materials or download them to a tablet that is separate from the device used for connection to Zoom.

Some recommended resin (plastic) recorders:

Yamaha YRB-302B
Aulos A533 B
Aulos A521B
There are also many good wooden instruments.  For instrument inquiries, you are encouraged to contact one of the ARS Business Members.  These vendors will have the knowledge to assist and are able to answer recorder-specific questions.
