Todays class focused on preparing to perform and stage etiquette *
Rule 1 Follow the leader. Dylan , Mafouz and Dana took turns to lead the class ensemble today and practiced introducing the pieces loudly and clearly . We practiced our Vivaldi pizzicato on G, Foxtrot , Jingle Bells (Down Up Bells ) Rudolph (Retakes) We played pizz first finger on E to Ms Vaughan's Irish air . We whizzed through our flash cards and had a quiz on the web site video clips . Bravo eveybody. Excellent attention and we will have our final practice next week.
The class are really looking forward to seeing Anything Goes by Cole Porter at Colaiste Muire tomorrow . The new clip this week is from a London production of the show. I hope you enjoy it .
I spent the weekend rehearsing and performing at the National Concert Hall in Dublin and I include a photo of myself and bass player Seamus Doyle aand one of the conductor discussing a point with one of the brass players .
* Etiquette . Way of doing things
