For the Soloist! (Session 3 of 4)
Saturday, February 27, 2021 1:15 PM EST
Instructor: Linda Krantz
Solo ringers, now is your opportunity to work with Master Class soloist Linda Krantz and take your solo ringing to the next level! This four-class track starts off with the basics of traveling 4-in-hand. From there, participants will put that knowledge to work choreographing (blocking) their T4H in their solo pieces. Finally, we will work on other important solo skills such as musicianship, performance, and incorporating other instruments. See more specifics below.
Solo Class 3: Blocking Traveling Four-in-Hand – This class will focus on blocking or “choreography for traveling four-in-hand. This is the “how” of utilizing T4H to solve the puzzle of “how can I ring this piece of music?” If you have a tricky section of a solo you are working on, feel free to bring it to the class.
This Course Has Prerequisites: a basic understanding of T4H and is meant to be taken in conjunction with Solo Class 1.
Recommended Equipment for all 4 sessions: A table with C6 to C7 is advised, (no accidentals needed), but not absolutely necessary.
Please note: Many of the questions in the chat will have been answered verbally and will appear in the recording.

00:25:49 Lori Fenton: too many years of voice lessons

00:40:25 Tammera Missel: Maybe Hyfrydol will make more sense now!
00:46:17 Tammera Missel: Do you ever work out a piece an octave up and then transfer choreography down an octave where it’s written?
00:46:47 Nikki: That was always where I struggled in Mortal Flesh too
00:54:35 Carlene Ruesenberg: Does your handout include your slide deck?
00:54:53 Nikki: What do you do when you get choreography that works and then immediately forget how you did it before you get it written down?
00:55:42 Marie Clyatt-Larson: you cry and try and discover it again!
00:56:10 Nikki: That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing ????
00:56:24 maryryrholm: Pick a different piece!
00:56:53 Melissa Emerson: AH – I have this from Jason – just starting.
00:59:31 dp: perhaps I’m, confused but your slash marks aren’t matching what hand you say you used, or I wasn’t tracking
01:03:18 Nikki: Be sure to warn your accompanist about the caesura— I’ve played this with four different accompanists and ONE of them actually followed me on it the first time ????
