Kaval Music
You should not think of the transcriptions as the last word on what's recorded: I sometimes combined versions of melodies into one, or had to guess at some of the ornaments. There is a key available of the ornaments I use for these transcriptions. For more specific questions, feel free to ask me via the contact form.
EEFC Iroquois Springs 2011 Beginning/Intermediate Macedonian Kaval students: Here's what we'll be working on:
- Bufčansko
- Ratevka
- Stefano Pile Šareno
I will also bring a CD with the pieces. Please note that the focus of this class will be on playing in a Macedonian style (based on Mile Kolarov). Although we will also be working on tone, the expectation is that the student can already play the basic octave plus a fourth or so (kaba not essential). So, it's not an entry-level class in playing the kaval. That being said, you will definitely get something out of the class whether you can at present consistently produce all those notes or not (because someday you will!). Come to the class the first day, and check it out. Please contact me if you have any questions. I'll be leaving the 12th.
