Midsummer reflections Including Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Nights Dream

As we enter into mid summer and celebrate and enjoy warm easy days of living shall we also play some nice tunes reflecting this time of the year?

In this session I invite you to choose a tune to play for us that reflects your mid summer mood. 

Many composers have written tunes or standard repertoire to reflect this season. 

Practice time:

And as the summer offers us longer days we have more time to also work on all those wonderful techniques that will afford you to be able to play that legato phrase its a little longer and more beautiful or core up those tricky finger passages.

Our tone exercises, scales and etudes will always keep us in shape and ready for playing the pieces we love or want to add to our repertoire. 

Exercises:

Galway tone exercises in 4th’s (available to download)

Scales - single and double tongued. (T & G- EJ 4)

Moyse - De La Sonorité pg .10 - Legato triplets

Moyse - 24 Etudes- #8 with variations 

 

This session will include Q&A

 

This session will be recorded and available to view until 30th September 2025.
