In this course, we are looking at a huge variety of repertoire, from Completely Forgotten to the Greatest Hits of the Renaissance and Baroque. But no hit is as engraved in the common consciousness as this one, the perennial Greensleeves.

Skill Builders

Musicality: While the melody sounds naive, our task is to make it as singingly sweet as possible, despite a few challenges for the bow arm.

Left Hand: We remain firmly in first position but need to think about perfect placement behind the fret in order to get the best sound possible on the top strings.

Right Hand: Because this piece lies high on the instrument, the bow needs to be at the sweet spot close to the bridge, with not too much weight on the D string.
