Following on the heels of a beginning bass class and a 2nd level bass class through the American Recorder Society, Jody Miller will offer a three-part series for bass recorder players.

Wednesday, February 11, 7:00–8:30 pm Eastern Time
Wednesday, February 18, 7:00–8:30 pm Eastern Time
Wednesday, February 25, 7:00–8:30 pm Eastern Time

For the first week, we’ll focus on the bass recorder in Renaissance instrumental music—dances, canzonas, and more. There may be a few examples of vocal repertoire, as the two genres are closely related and stylistic choices can often transfer.

The second week will focus on the bass recorder as a basso continuo instrument in the music of the Baroque. We’ll cover some Baroque style, especially focusing on the role of the bass player in an ensemble.

The third week will conclude with examples of the bass recorder in contemporary music utilizing the ARS Music Library and other excerpts. I strongly recommend membership in the American Recorder Society so that participants have full access to the music library and related resources.

All class literature will be provided, but contact me in advance if you need advice about recorders or other equipment. It is expected that all participants have access to a metronome and a way to record yourself playing (all easily done with practically any smartphone).

This 3-part online series will be presented through the Zoom videoconferencing platform. Sessions are interactive and participants are invited to ask questions and there will be opportunities for immediate feedback. Participants will have access to audio play-along files and can review recordings of the class sessions to enhance their own practice.

Sessions will be held for three consecutive Wednesdays, February 11, 18, and 25, at 7:00 pm Eastern Time via Zoom. Sessions will run 90 minutes. Headphones and a good microphone for your computer are encouraged, but not required.

The fee for the 3-class series is $70, payable via PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, or check.
