What's on Your Stand?
Hello tonebuddies!
Let's dive into a bit of musical show-and-tell! You’re invited to share a picture of what’s on your music stand!
Whether it's the sheet music of a challenging piece, a beloved etude, or perhaps a well-worn method book, your stand is a reflection of your current musical journey. Snap a photo of your music stand setup and share it with the community. Are there any quirky accessories, favorite pencils, or lucky charms that accompany you during practice?
Let's celebrate what you’re practicing, the notes scribbled in the margins, and the marks of a well-practiced passage. Your stand setup might just inspire someone else's practice space makeover!
So, grab your camera and take a snapshot of what’s on your stand!

This is mine.
1) I follow technical warming up sessions called ‘Pluck the Day” with a small group (via Teams). Really fun thing to do, together with Fernando Cordas. 3 x per week. ‘R hand Madness’ is one of the reoccurring exercises
2,3) I will have to make a choice between these 2 baroque pieces: Portuguese Carlos Seixas or Italian Vivaldi. Both really good transcriptions for guitar (but by far from easy) by Rebecca Oliveira and David Russell - lots of cross string ornaments.
4) I’m fascinated by this piece of a young Greek guitarist/composer Thodoris Theodoroudis called ‘Images from a Sea’.

joosje interesting selection, I've listened to Oliveira's Seixas transcriptions a few times and they sound very good. What an interesting idea «Pluck the Day», for how long you're been doing this?
-
Blaise Laflamme yes, her transcriptions are fine. Im now listening to interpretations on guitar and harpsichord. Interesting difference: guitarists use far more ornamentation. I dont find these pieces so easy. Tbh Seixas is no Scarlatti, but I think it's worth the effort.
-
joosje you're right about Scarlatti... and ornamentation... it looks like when a guitarist find his way through them he tends to put them everywhere!
-
Blaise Laflamme about Pluck the Day. I joined 2 years ago. I find it very useful , both as a warming up.and to be more aware of and at ease with all basic guitar techniques. It's originally a Dutch group for Fernando's students, some advanced player friends and his young talents class. My dear TB friend Nora joined us last year so now the 8.30 (CET) group is in English. We're having lots of fun....
