Purpose of double-sharps and double-flats? I always understood that it was to help wind players cope with key transitions in complex pieces - stay with the flats when the previous section was in a flat key, or stay with the sharps and add one etc. |

Do you count mental practice when counting total practice time for the day? It is a lot harder to overpractise on a wind instrument - but if I say that it is a lot easier to get that fingertip oversensitivity with a guitar than it is to get a "strawberry lip" you might get the idea of why he has been told not to practice too much. |

Do you count mental practice when counting total practice time for the day? I play both piano and guitar. I learned piano formally, and I am a self-taught guitarist (mostly by ear). I learned touch typing after learning to play, and noticed that it improved my dexterity and accuracy with either instrument. I don't have a piano, and before I learned to type I was called upon to play when I had not touched a piano for 2 years. It took me a couple of weeks to get the simple things I needed to play "up to scratch". While learning typing, I was placed in a similar situation, and it only took 3 days that time. Typing helps with precision finger placement without looking. |

F on soprano recorder doesn't sound right Despite the name, Dolmetsch is an English company. It has to be said that Dolmetsch recorders have a more pronounced conical aspect to the bore than a lot of other makes, so fingering on a small Dolmetsch is closer to the larger members of the family. |

Why was basso continuo not widely used after the baroque period? There was some kind of ban imposed in GB on church orchestras, leaving church music accompanied by organ only. I don't actually know much about it, but I do know that nailed up a lot of continuo in GB. |

Why was basso continuo not widely used after the baroque period? About those guitars in blues bands - they had to do much more background work before Mr Fender came up with the bass guitar in the 50s, Before that, they needed a piano player to give a driving bass - after that, the guitar was able to take a more prominent position. Not evolution, but innovation. |
