1D La Folia, Level I: Renaissance bass line

We'll see this Golden Oldie several times throughout this course, increasing the technical challenges each time.  We'll repeat the piece in Level II with different fingerings, and then again in Level III as you play the melody line. 

Skill Builders

Musicality: This is our first piece in triple time, a noble 6/4

Left Hand: We'll introduce a new concept, the barré (first finger held down across two strings), as well as learning where to place our 4th finger for an F.

Right Hand: We'll practice a long-short bowing, making sure not to accent the short note.
