Doigtés et virtuosité, exercises gradués pour la vielle By Laurent Bitaud, 1988, Ëditions J.M. Fuzeau, Courlay. It is in French, with cassette tape. The lessons and tape are created for both G/C and D/G hurdy guryds and are easy to follow even if you are not fluent in French. It is a nice mixture of finger exercises and right hand skills and for fun there are a few tunes thrown in. If you like practicing finger work, this is for you. Laurent's students seem to be very skilled in both the left and right hand. So maybe this might work for you. I don't know of any place that sells it now. .......................................................................... Another book and cassette duo that is great to learn from is the book Pratique du jeu de vielle Centre-France by Maxou. The original book is in French and is available from AMTA http://www.amta.com.fr/fr/production/titre.asp?codetitre=44 The cassette and the English version do not seem to be on the AMTA web site but I think I saw a copy in English at their store in Riom last May. Maxou has a wonderful way of making it simple to understand and progress by playing tunes or parts of tunes to understand how you can play both left and right hands skillfully. You can make up your own left or right hand excersizes based on Maxou's instruction. There are some really nice tunes in the book and it is a good way to hear and see how you can play the left and right hands together and also disassociated. Laurent's book is like going inside to school and Maxou's book is like going outside to play. I find both types of books useful. And I use both techniques when I teach. rt. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
