Great tip! Thank you.
Great! Thanks.
Great kinesthetic visual Jennifer! I will use it. I like to teach non-legato first for at least a few weeks before we do legato. It helps to solidify the downward arm weighted motion which is so foundational for technique. Then, after this is somewhat established, the downward motion becomes the starting point for “sliding” or “gliding” into other notes = legato. Just my 2 cents. 🙂
Yes! That’s great! 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Grace!
