Emphasis on left hand technique to include barrees, stretching, positioning of fingers, wrist, arm, sitting position, recommended studies. I will send out an arpeggio sequence E – A – B7 to participants beforehand to get us going on the day. From that we will develop brief specific exercises suited to you as a result of discussion. I will notate them in music and tabs and send them to you so you can have them to study.
