Turetzky performs composed and improvisational pieces on the Contrabass for the students, and uses the instrument to experiment with sound. How can you develop a style of your own.
Activities Play an instrument using different techniques.
If the instrument requires a bow, trying plucking it, for example. Listen to a non-musical sound, such as a helicopter flying by, or the sound a dishwasher makes, and try to imitate that sound with an instrument. Use an instrument to play another instrument. For instance, Turetzky uses his Contrabass to emulate the Sitar. Try to create different moods by playing an instrument harder, softer, faster, slower.
