Basic Ukulele Technique Presented by Paul Marchese and Sponsored by Music & Arts This is a repeat of the 9:30AM Session. Bowing Concepts for Musical Phrasing Library Second Floor Room C226 Second Floor front of the orchestra will also find this session helpful. Let s call it basic concepts taken to a new level. String players are presented with many challenges when it comes to finding the right bowing to preserve the musical phrase. This is especially true when the note values are not consistent. Playing down bow for two counts and up bow for one count creates an opportunity for an accent which may not fit the musical idea. I will present specific examples in standard repertoire along with suggestions to allow for a musical phrase. The goal is simple, hear how you want the phrase to sound, find the best bowing option, and then (the hard part) listen to make sure you performed the phrase the way you heard it in your head. Too often, string players play with unwanted accents or allow their bow to dictate the dynamics and accents. It must be the other way around. Make the bow work to create the phrase. 1:45-2:45 The Secrets of Teaching Flute Vibrato Presented by Dr. Cate Hummel and Sponsored by Jupiter Band Instruments and Music & Arts.
