      That's so kind of you! You're wanting to learn about the elements that I, too, feel are important. You might be interested in my book, Successful Practising, available from www.jennymacmillan.co.uk.

    Glad you are producing more videos, they are so useful for me as a beginner. I have been learning for two years now and the Alberti bass is on the horizon. I have a teacher, but I find your films add another aspect on technique. Thank you and keep going. I am seventy by the way and still capable of learning, wish I lived in Cambridge - greetings from Germany.

    Glad to see a new video, Jenny. Thank you for explaining this technique so clearly. My teacher is having me go through Duvernoy op 176 and there are mny pieces with alberti bases. This will be very helpful.

    Jennie, i have a question. I tried the demonstrated technique on my Duvernoy op 176 no 10 ( D A FSharp A, repeat) and i find moving through by finger 3 difficult because it is a black note. I am always able to produce this softer sound as compare to finger 5. Any tips?

    • @jennymacmillan8027
      @jennymacmillan8027  3 роки тому

      Not sure I understand the problem, Christine. First of all, why not finger 5-1-3-1 on D-A-F#-A and, secondly, why is it difficult to stretch in with finger 4? Or is it a high D (I don’t have a score)?

      @@jennymacmillan8027 sorry Jennie, i was not clear i am affraid. The difficulty for me was that this Alberti bas on the left hand (D-A-F#-A) with fingers 5-1-3-1 gave allways a harder sound of finger 3. I tried again and by rolling my hand a big further in while concentrating in a good rolling and a pointed thimb, i was getting a nicer and softer sound on that F# with finger 3. So i needed to practice more slowly to see this happening. Thanks Jenny.

    Dear Jenny! Excuse me for not writing you an asnwer on the comment you sent from a video of mine! I just saw it now when we installed my gmail in my outlook on my new computer, and I clicked on "answer" in the e-mail, but I didn´t see how I could answer? :) Anyway - thankyou for your nice comment, and for you interesting links to your web site and to this lesson. So nice to hear you explain so very very well the moves! I will subcribe now to your channel, and follow you! :) All the best! Gunilla Rönnberg, Suzukiorgan, Sweden

      How lovely to hear from you, Gunilla! I remember I had great difficulty posting my comments on your video - they kept vanishing; if you couldn’t reply, it may be an IT issue? It’s good to see your posts on Facebook, and to follow your organ tutorials. Perhaps we'll meet up one day at a Suzuki conference?! Good luck with all your teaching.
