Group 1

IMPROVE YOUR CHOPIN ORNAMENTS IN TWO WEEKS WITH JARRED DUNN!

When playing Chopin, we face a tremendous challenge in using ornamentation to enhance musical expression. In this two-week intensive, we will learn how to make Chopin ornaments easier to play by targeting technical skills used in effortless trills, turns, grace notes, and arpeggiated chords. We will look at specific examples in Chopin's Mazurkas  

ASSIGNMENTS

Your videos should show all three assignments! 

1.  Learn over snap movement: practice for five mins per day on arpeggiated chords in Mazurka op.50 no.1
2. Trills : the one I show is a preparatory step, because it’s a short trill. Try this movement of changing the key place with fingers 2-4-3 on many different locations/keys. Do this also for five mins per day. 
3. Grace notes: same as above, try grace notes on different keys, with forward arm movement.
