Solo: Malahide FInger Jig

Play A Picture: Solos and Duets
intend to inspire expression by
descriptive titles and vivid photographs.

Malahide Finger Jig introduces technique
for producing images in music:
6/8 rhythm, phrasing and dynamics to
emphasize a jig (dance) feel.

These techniques can be used by the performer
to help the listener "feel" the dance in the music.

It also introduces the technique of careful fingering,
so fingers don't trip up over themselves!

Included with the Solo piece
is Technique & Expression preparation
for mastering
notes and techniques
used in the Solo.

Notes about Play A Picture: Solos and Duets

Play A Picture: Solos and Duets
intend to inspire expression by
descriptive titles and vivid photographs.

Play A Picture: Solos and Duets include only a few
fingerings and expression markings in the music:
performers are typically encouraged to explore
fingerings suitable to them
and expression they feel
brings the song to life.

A variety of key signatures,
often imbedded within the music itself
for ease of reading,
strengthens visual confidence
of sharps, flats and naturals.

It's all about the student - Happy Mastering !
