(8 Hours, that is!)\u2026No Joke!,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> a comprehensive technique workshop with legendary violist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alandeveritch.com\/\">Alan de Veritch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the title of this\nworkshop may appear a bit incredulous, the truth is that Alan de Veritch has indeed\nfound an efficient and effective way to simplify and streamline viola\/violin\ntechnique into a \u201csystem\u201d which enables one to consistently draw on the\ninstrumental basics when confronted with any level of technical challenge.\nBroken down into eight 1-hour progressive lessons, Professor de Veritch has used\nthis approach and method as the basis of his teaching for many years. His\nmethod is centered on making the &#8220;unnatural&#8221; (playing the viola!)\nseem as natural as possible. Additionally, \u201cThe System\u201d creates a template that\none can use with their own students as one develops their own teaching style.\nIt is material that is easily transferable to violin students as the materials\nare readily available. It is also material that is extremely flexible and can\nbe adjusted for any age student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While \u201cThe de Veritch System\u201d\nhas typically served as the first eight lessons for each of his private\nstudent\u2019s, Alan has only, on rare occasions, presented this material in a\nworkshop setting. Please join us for this enlightening and unique technique\nexploration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday November 16 Professor de Veritch will cover lessons 1-4. Lessons 5-8 will be covered the following Saturday, November 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring your instruments and work alongside the University of\nUtah Viola Club, or just audit the workshop and take notes! Drop in as you are\nable and stay as long as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Materials covered will be Schradieck Books 1, 2, 3, Carl\nFlesch Scale System, and Kreutzer etudes. We will have handouts as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/music.utah.edu\/\">University of Utah School of Music<\/a> Room 270 (November 16) and 324 (November 23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When:  November 16<\/strong>, 10am-12pm, lunch break 90 minutes, 1:30-3:30 <strong>Room 270, <\/strong>and<strong> November 23<\/strong>, 9:30-11:30am, lunch break 60 minutes, 12:30-2:30 <strong>Room 324<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please RSVP to Julie Edwards (<span class=\"pep-email\">JulieEdwardsViola(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)Gmail.com<\/span>) if\nyou are interested in attending!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THANK YOU to the University of Utah FAF Grants for making\nthis workshop possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/utahviolasociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/deVeritch_musician.jpg?resize=218%2C300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1639\"\/><figcaption>Alan de Veritch<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L\u2019Alto: Viola Club at The University of Utah is proud to present \u201cLearn the Viola in a Day!
