Why Cannot C-Natural Feel Natural?
Every string teacher has had students who just do not seem to understand how to play in tune no matter how much we tape up the instrument, practice whole/half steps and finger patterns. In this session, Gee Cordova will teach an approach to rebalance the Left Hand for ease, fluency, and intonation accuracy which is applicable to beginning strings all the way to Advanced Playing.
