| 5/7/2023 |  Playing the recorder brings us great joy on many levels, including the sense of accomplishment we feel when it goes well from beginning to end! But along the way, when little mistakes happen, such as playing the wrong note (or fingering) or stumbling on a rhythm, the temptation is often to correct it on the spot. In this workshop we will practice ways for you to find your way back into the music if should you lose your place. We’ll listen carefully to the music and learn to understand what is heard – in your own part as well as in others. Even if you’re playing from a single part rather than a score, you can learn how to catch up with the rest of the ensemble in the recording, and never let on that you were lost in the first place.more info... |
