I’ve had several people contact me since learning via self study in written form isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and I realize not everyone has disposable income for online Skype lessons & thought developing a set of videos for a low price might be a useful alternative. All Videos are in HD MP4 format & some lesson packs include notation and audio accompaniment. Video #1 – Developing Tone & Sound The first in the series, here I discuss the more basic principles of breath control and working towards developing dynamics and getting a better tone out of the instrument. (Length 8:47) Watch For Free on YouTube Video #2 – Developing Techniques (Xargh / Shake Trills) Here I talk about the shake trilling technique often heard in Duduk solos by some of the more masterful players. The technique is fairly tricky and can be broken down into 3 parts to practice. (Length 8:26) $2 Video #3 – Developing Phrasing (stops/gliss/Vibrato) A general overview of phrasing technique on the duduk, including stops, gliss and vibrato and their usage in modern duduk phrasing. (Length 6:49) $2 Video #4 – Folk Song Melody “Kayikci/Navarvar” A special lesson pack where I break down the melody for the folk song “Kayikci/Navarvar”. The Download pack includes the notation & a backing track to perform the piece over. (Length 18:16) $5
