Early Music Classes Offered | | |
 We are offering 3 Early Music Classes with Laura Mazza-Dixon.
Viola da Gamba Class
The viola da gamba is an instrument with six strings, tuned in fourths, like a lute or a guitar, seven tied-on frets, and is played with a bow held with the hand underneath the stick and the fingers on bow hair, which is under less tension than a modern bow. It was popular from the 1500's through the 1700's and came in several sizes: treble, alto, tenor, bass and the violone, which is the ancestor of the modern double bass.
Gamba is the Italian word for leg, and all sizes of the viol (as it is known in English) were played together in "consorts of viols," with a repertoire which reached its height in the Jacobean period, just following the reign of Queen Elizabeth. In the Baroque period the bass viol remained in use as a solo and a continuo instrument. More information is available at the website for the Viola da Gamba Society of America website at www.vsgsa.org. A 12-week session open to beginning and intermediate viola da gamba players is being offered from March to May. Focus will be on producing a beautiful sound, refining bow technique and developing sightreading skills. Instruments will be available to rent.
Program Fee: $190
