INTRODUCTION

The pieces presented here are to be learned primarily by ear, or memo-rized as soon as possible. Playing away from the printed music allows for more awareness of the actual experience of playing music. It is hard to change what is not noticed, so awareness is a key element in learn-ing and changing.

To the ParentHelpful hints for playing time with the viol:

1. Create a space for music in your home.2. Set a regular time to play with the viol.3. Encourage exploration and inventiveness to learn how the viol

works.4.Resisttheurgeto“fix”or“correct.”Insteadask,“Whathappensif...”or“Whatdidyounoticeaboutplaying...”

5. Encourage child to create her or his own songs.

To the Adult Student1.Practiceself-awarenessbyaskingyourself,“WhatdidInotice?”2.Resisttheurgetoplayit“right,”ortoscoldyourself.3. Explore the instrument and make up your own warm-ups.4. Expand your awareness to notice:

a. Your comfort levelb.Easeordifficultyofplayingc. Thoughts and intentions while playingd. The sound of the viol

I would like to thank my students for their willingness to explore this newmethodwithme.Youwillfindsomeoftheirnamesinthisbook.Also, I greatly appreciate the support of my family, friends and col-leagues who have given me help and inspiration.

Ihopeyoufindthismethodafunwaytoexploretheworldoftheviola da gamba.

Care of theViola da gambaTreat your viola da gamba with the same care as if it were a person.

1. Keep the viol in its case or protected from being knocked over.2. Keep away from direct sunlight, heating source, or extreme cold.3. Travel with viol inside the car, not the trunk.4.Loosenbowwhenfinishedplayingandwipeoffrosinfromstick.5. Clean rosin off strings and off the belly of the instrument.

Tuning theViola da gamba familyThis instrument is tuned like a Renaissance guitar. An interval of a third is between the middle two strings, and an interval of a fourth is between the outside sets of strings.

Old MacDonald

Traditional

This is an exercise/game to learn about the viola da gamba.

Use the following examples to make new sounds on the viol during the animal sounds

in the third line:

1. Mouse – place 1st finger at the end of the finger board and make a squeaky sound

with the bow

2. Siren – slide 1st finger up and down the string while bowing.

3. Seagulls – slide 1st finer up and down the string lightly while bowing to create harmonics.

4. Train – play on two strings at once (double stop) to make a train whistle sound.

5. Cat – slide 1st finger up and back on a string to make a “meow” sound.

6. Cow – slide 1st finger up and back on a low string to make a “moo” sound.

Noel Nouvelettraditional French, 15th c.

Variation 1Start slowly, then get faster and faster (as fast as you can play), then gradually slow down until you stop. Keep repeating as long as needed. Notice how you achieve different speeds with the bow.

Variation 2Begin very softly, then start getting louder and louder (as loud as you dare),and then gradually start getting softer and softer until the notes disappear. Notice what you bow does to get louder and softer.

Memorize the finger pattern and then make up your own finger pattern.

Perpetual HenrikHenrik Mikko, age 10

Variation 1Start slowly, then get faster and faster (as fast as you can play), then gradually slow down until you stop. Keep repeating as long as needed. Notice how you achieve different speeds with the bow.

Variation 2Begin very softly, then start getting louder and louder (as loud as you dare), and then gradu-ally start getting softer and softer until the notes disappear. Notice what your bow does to get louder and softer.

Over the Hills and Far AwayPopular Tune

The song, Over the Hills and Far Away, appears in The Beggar’s Opera by John Gay, 1728

VersesWere I laid on Greenland’s coast,And in my arms embrac’d my lass;Warm amidst eternal frost,Too soon the half year’s night would pass.

Were I sold on Indian Soil,Soon as the burning Day was clos’d,I could mock the sultry ToilWhen on my Charmer’s Breast repos’d.

ChorusAnd I would love you all the day,Every night would kiss and play,If with me you’d fondly stray,Over the hills and far away.
