Re: Stick Talk #2
Thanks so much for these Gene. I teach music full-time and one of the things that is so overlooked in music ed is the "how and what to effectively practice" elephant in the room. Your delivery, enthusiasm, and clarity - both visually and aurally - are both on point and address fundamental questions for which music students of any age will appreciate access to your insight and shared journey.
Sincerely,
Eric

Re: Stick Talk #2
Gene, did I hear you say HARPISCHORD? Imagine having this in your apartment, along with a motorbike and nothing else. I totally promise you’ll smile when you get to 1:15: https://youtu.be/DzxlMfUzqIMI’m a new fan of Jean Rondeau, for example: https://youtu.be/_ChKsMjIMFwn(joy);

Re: Stick Talk #2
Thanks Eric, I really appreciate it. So much of what I have done in the past is in a conversational context where this is purely interpretation, method and arranging. It's a bit of a new direction as my muscle memory has far and away served me better than my sight reading, which is paltry at best. I am certain your experience in teaching is welcome here - any advice you have for us Stickists in conveying ideas, concepts or methodologies is greatly appreciated.

Re: Stick Talk #2
I definitely enjoyed this, thank you! I love that sound, it's like new strings ALL DAY...! So, with my birthday tomorrow and all, I'm really hoping this thread spins out of control into a Harpsichords rule / suck debate.

Gene:
Thank you! This is super helpful for those us who want to dip our toes into the water rather than doggy paddle around in the deep end (maybe not the best metaphor). Now, I am off to look at the Harpsichord thread...

earthgene wrote: Me too Michael, thanks so much! I would love to hear it on the Alto. Would that be in C relative to the tuning you are using? I don't think that I have to change the key, there are only a few very low notes that could create any problem. I am currently working on Smetana's Moldau ... but I will tackle the Minuet Weird, but I am listening to classical music in a very different way since I am playing the Stick.

Re: Stick Talk #2
Hey there Gene. Thanks for the mighty comment. I’m just obsessed with too much practicing. Bach certainly for me requires lots of practice time. Anytime you want to hang and talk about number two I’m there. I had it down almost and then forgot how to play it so I dusted it off last night. It’s gonna take time to get it back like any Bach piece but I’m finding the more Bach you play the faster it is to learn or relearn another Bach piece. There are a lot of similarities in all his work so skills learned in one transfer over nicely to other Bach pieces (and other Stock tunes)
There is much to learn and discover with Bach both technique wise and harmonically
Oh and happy birthday
