Upper IntermediateThe Upper Intermediate Course is designed to take players on from the level of the Intermediate Course. The music we cover will be more challenging both musically (rhythmically etc) and technically (e.g. in more adventurous keys!) We will look together at the set repertoire and discuss options of bowing, fingering and ensemble issues. Further music will be provided, some in advance of the course so you can prepare it, and the rest during the weekend.
Here are some helpful guidelines about the level of an Upper Intermediate course: - Competent across whole range of instrument in first and half position, and up to a tone above the top fret - Happy in keys of two sharps or flats, willing to try three - Can play two sizes of viol, even if one is more familiar than the other - Able to hold a part in polyphonic madrigals and friendly fantasias - Bass players be happy to sometimes tune 6th string down to C - Able to use chordal fingering when sight-reading - Able to shape notes with tensioning the bow hair (messa di voce) |
