How good is your broadband?

Two new video-clips designed to help with the process of starting from scratch. The Intro A clip is designed for absolute beginners and the second for very early stage students. That said, they may also be useful for revision and for folks returning to study after a long break. These videos are best viewed at the highest resolution available to you. If you are unhappy with the clarity of the picture you might try re-sizing or choosing a different quality setting. Look for the 'change quality icon' (the cog-wheel) in the bottom right-hand corner of the You-Tube Screen. You may need to press the 'Watch on You-Tube' button.

This is not a substitute for 'pitch-based' sight-reading - it is intended as a strengthening resource.  Intro A Whole-notes
