The Well-Tempered Instrumentalist - Low Bass Clef Instruments . This method is designed to help the instrumentalist in the following areas: Playing in all keys with equal proficiency. Improvising or composing melodies in all keys, regardless of style. Transposing and Interval recognition. Singing on your instrument like you can with your voice, regardless of keys. Knowing your instrument in terms of keys and tonality. - Being able to "hear your instrument". Sensing in advance where the fingers should move when creating or improvising music. - Playing by ear, freely in keys without having to "think about the notes" or fingerings. - Other benefits: Increasing technique, range and endurance. Improving sight reading ability. Understanding the diatonic system of tonality. This method helps the player through progressive exercises, to build the ability to know and hear one's instrument and to be able to improvise, compose, or create melodies. The process involves memorizing small tonal scale fragments, phrases and songs in all keys, around the circle of 4ths & 5ths, until they are automatized in the brain/ear/fingerings . . just like memorizing words, vocabulary and phrases that can be used for extemporaneous discussion on familiar subjects. The goal is to make your instrument like a part of your body, like your voice box, where you can just "sing" on it. The method helps the player to ingrain keys and tonality in his playing, thus allowing him to intuitively create music. - - See introduction and example graphics of exercises under cover page. - Also see "The Well-Tempered Trombonist", "The Well-Tempered Instrumentalist for Treble Clef Instruments", and "The Well-Tempered Instrumentalist for Mid-Bass Clef Instruments" by this author on Amazon.
