BEG. STRINGS
01. LEFT HAND PIZZICATO: CYCLE OF STRINGS EXERCISE USING THE FINGER THAT IS THE MOST
DIFFICULT (FOR MOST THIS WILL BE THE 4TH FINGER) PLUCKING EACH STRING 4X IN THE CYCLE
02. LEFT HAND PIZZICATO SONG: BATMAN
.......a. STUDENTS TO SING THE NOTE LETTERS AS THEY PLUCK THEM
.......b. DIFFERENT FINGERS ARE USED TO PIZZICATO DIFFERENT SECTIONS
03. RIGHT HAND PIZZICATO (WITHOUT HOLDING THE BOW)
.......a. INSTRUCTION ON 2 TYPES OF RIGHT PIZZICATO
............1) TRADITIONAL
..................a) PLUCKING (OVER THE FINGERBOARD) WITH THE RIGHT POINTER FINGER and THE RIGHT THUMB ANCHORED TO THE SIDE OF THE FINGERBOARD
..................b) THIS IS A MORE PRACTICAL PIZZICATO TO USE
............2) NON-TRADITIONAL
..................a) PLUCKING (OVER THE FINGERBOARD) WITH THE RIGHT THUMB and THE OTHER RIGHT FINGERS ANCHORED TO THE SIDE OF THE FINGERBOARD
..................b) THIS TECHNIQUE PRODUCES A FULLER, RICHER SOUND
..................c) THE HAND POSITION USED IN THIS TYPE OF PIZZICATO IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF PLUCKING A GUITAR and FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES IS A GOOD LEAD IN TO STARTING TO PUT FINGERS DOWN ON THE FINGERBOARD TO PLAY SONGS IN "GUITAR POSITION"
..................d) THE RIGHT ARM POSITION WHICH RESULTS FROM USING THIS TYPE OF RIGHT PIZZICATO IS A
GOOD LEAD IN TO PREPARATION OF THE RIGHT ARM AND HAND FOR USING THE BOW
.......b. STUDENTS REPLAY "BATMAN" AGAIN THIS TIME USING THE RIGHT HAND "NON- TRADITIONAL" PIZZICATO
