Due to the fact that the keys of E-Flat, C-Minor, A-Flat and F Minor are seldom found in classic literature they should be given much attention. They are beautiful keys to work in and much modern music is written in these keys. Master each position before proceeding to the next. Employ as much supplementary material as deemed necessary to keep the interest high as some of the studies will require time for full development.THE POSITIONS The next goal of the student will be the complete mastery of all positions.
