Classical Studies for Tenor Banjo
Σχετικά με το ebook
Most importantly, these studies have been chosen to develop musicianship, not just technique. Creating your own left-hand fingering and original interpretive ideas will build the confidence needed to become an authoritative classical performer.
If you have played the tenor banjo by ear or relied on tablature exclusively in the past, this is the book and now is the time to access the world of standard notation—for whatever style of music that interests you. The author provides liberal playing tips and suggestions for further sight reading.
As the perfect fifth tunings of the tenor banjo and mandola are the same (CGDA), this music can also be played on the mandola.
Includes access to online audio.
