Today we worked really well on our E minor scales and arpeggios.
Please could you sing your scale in the following ways:
La | Ti | Do | Re | Mi | Fa | So | La |
E | F# | G | A | B | C | D | E |
1 | high 2 | 3 | A | 1 | low 2 | 3 | E (or 4) |
Please practise this plucked first. Take extra special care over your 2nd finger - your 2nd finger will play in the high position for F#, and then in the low position on the A string for C (natural - our 'secret' note).
When this is feeling more confident, bow it using 2 bows per note (e.g. 1 1 high 2 high 2 3 3 etc.)
Please keep practising your E minor arpeggios, these are going well. (E G B E B G E or 1d 3d 1a E 1a 3d 1d)
Please make sure you can play the first 2 lines of Harpists Fingers really confidently and have a look at the bars I've outlines in your books for the last two lines.
