Would you like to build dexterity, improve your intonation, and bring your technique to a higher level?
Faculty member Sarah Plum has developed a new method of learning scales and will be publishing a book with this groundbreaking approach. In these classes, participants will dissect and improve their scales while also learning all about left-hand technique, shifting, and intonation. This is a great class to prepare scales for auditions and all-state, improve technique, and make practicing more efficient.
Key components
• Learn, dissect, and perfect 3-octave scales
• Work on and refine shifting and intonation from a unique perspective
• Build dexterity
• Learn how to integrate scales into daily practice
