Warren Sirota — Gillett Parlor
Rapid Lick Acquisition
Mastering a new challenging passage can hang us up in fruitless and frustrating head-against-wall exercises for days or weeks. In the process, we might even habituate ourselves to an ineffective fingering or approach. There are usually specific reasons why passages are difficult. Finding them and solving them can have broad effects on your playing. Both slow practice and how to break past your speed limits with block chaining are discussed. We should have time to work on 2 or 3 class examples, so bring a problem lick if you don’t mind learning in public. For all levels and instruments, but specifically aimed at intermediates trying to break through to the next level.
