The class will focus on components of music notation (pitch, rhythm, fingering, etc) and coordinating the performance of selected graded material. Topics: 1. Note Recognition. 2. Rhythm Studies. 3. Position Studies. 4. Etudes. 5. Chart Reading. We start each class with drills to improve fundamental reading skills then apply those skills to selected professional bass charts and etudes in various styles. The teacher will guide the students through the music individually and as a group. The teaching style for this class is structured but flexible to student’s abilities. The students will work individually and as a group.
Learning Goals
The students will improve their ability to read and play music notation.
