Basstopia! The Wonderful World of the Bass Recorder
November 18, 25, December 2, 9
10:00 am – 11:15 am PT/11:00 am – 12:15 pm MT/12:00 pm – 1:15 pm CT/1:00 pm – 2:15 pm ET
Each session starts with a 15-minute warm-up to work on tone, fingers, and tongue. Then, we’ll work on a selection of my favorite solos and duets, using Eric Haas’ publications (Duets for Basses Volume II, and Bass Recorder Solo Book) and works from other sources. Eric’s books can be ordered from the Von Huene Early Music Shop at https://www.vonhuene.com/search.aspx?searchterm=haas) We’ll also work on the aria “Bestelle dein Haus” from J. S. Bach’s Cantata 106. Pitch: a=440.
$100 for all four classes. Classes will be recorded and available to stream for one month. To learn how to register, please write to Tish at tishberlin@sbcglobal.net. Music will be sent as PDFs one week before first class.
