sunday jan 21 art studio south end
MB, Glenn, David and Victor.
watched a bit of the caravan show video documentation. but few observations were made.
a long session of embroidery, with the aim for me of having the group get more accustomed to making choices quickly from listening to the whole. at one point i asked people to remember what they were doing, and tried to help mary beth with an additional alternation of her bass line. but having done that we were unable to accurately resume the other voices.
we worked on the first 8 bars of third relation, after first playing the piece. we worked with alternating dropping out for 4 beats and resuming playing. criculating on open a with complete efficiency. circulating on the opening note of 3rd relation with complete efficiency, circulating 1st 2 and 1st 4 note sets of 3rd relation with complete efficiency, adding a focus of keeping the notes even. playing the 1st eight bars with complete evenness, stopping after compentency in this was established and resuming off a count with the exact same competency. we did more of passing dropping out for 4 bars, and then played the piece. there was some uneveness in the picking the second two beats of the A min section observed, but otherwise the piece was much improved.
we worked on the invention #1 circulation. we worked on picking from a physical attitude of readyness in the right hand. we worked on clicking 16th notes as we went. we worked on listening to the note just before and just after, looking at where the pulse sits in relation to the melody, where it sits in relation to our note, and holding our notes long enough.
we talked some about the upcoming ocbc show
we'll meet at 7:30 next week.
