[MUSIC] We are now ready to learn the Bach minuet. there are several new things to learn in this piece. The first is the slur. Isolate and practice all slurs with stop bows first. Also isolate the upopo in the first measure, giving each note half of the bow. Let's practice our slurs. Okay, so, we're going to practice the slur in the third measure. So it's A, B, C, T, Tierre. [SOUND] Good. Try it again. [MUSIC] Not too low with the second finger. [MUSIC] That's it, let's slur it. [MUSIC] That's it. Can you do that by yourself? [MUSIC] Not too low with the second finger. [MUSIC] Good, one more time. [MUSIC] Good. Let's play the whole measure. Starting on b, let go, tap your first finger, b. [MUSIC] Good, let's, let's do it again with the stop bows. Ready? [MUSIC] [SOUND] That's it. Now, let's do it with the smooth bows and the slur. [MUSIC] Good. One more time. [MUSIC] Very good. Next we will isolate and practice measure four to five, leaving the third finger down, until the fourth finger is set. Button the third finger down then place the fourth finger, once the fourth finger is set; then pop off the button, taking the third finger off, let's practice. Okay, so let's play measure four to five, where we're going to button our third finger down. Can you button that finger down? And then put four and pop off the third finger button. Let's try it again. Button, place the four, and pop off three. Very good, let's play it. [MUSIC] Now, pop it off. [SOUND] That was good! Let's do it again. [MUSIC] Not too high! [MUSIC] Good, one more time. [MUSIC] That was good. Okay. In measure 12, going to 13, the student will skip a string by rolling the bow over the A string. Make sure that the arm level changes to the new string, rolling from the ball and socket. Let's practice this. So, it's going to go from this third finger G on your D string. Just your third finger, you don't need those other fingers. That's right. So third finger. [MUSIC] Now roll your arm down, good. And then let's tap our thumb over here. Tap. That's right. [SOUND] Good let's do it again. B, can you tap your thumb? Make sure it's not squeezing. [MUSIC] Now roll. [MUSIC]. That's it. By yourself once. [MUSIC] That's right, very good. The piece begins at the frog, using a whole bow for the quarter notes. And half bows for two up bows. The slurs will get whole bows, and the eighth notes are played at either the frog or the tip. Okay, let's practice minuet. [SOUND] Okay, so let's play the whole piece from the beginning. Let's start at the frog. Check your bow hold. Good. Only the third finger starts [MUSIC] [INAUDIBLE] Good. Button that down and place your, four. Pop off the button. Good! [SOUND] One, two, three. Now we're going to repeat. [MUSIC] Good. [MUSIC] Four [SOUND] two, three, good. Circle. Set the bow at the frog. Now, this is a place we don't really need one and two right? So, only three so you can vibrate it. Ready? Good. [MUSIC] One, two, three [MUSIC] Three off. Very good. Okay, so why don't we play it with the piano now? Okay? Try and remember all of those things. Remember your t teary. The triplet rhythm and then only threes. Not too fast. [MUSIC] One, two, three.
