Glissando Exercises: Fifty Incremental Exercises, from Basic to Complex

Jacqueline Pollauf
Downloadable Only
Product ID – 707210-400PDF

$15.00 – $20.00

Anyone can play a gliss on the harp! Simply run your finger along the strings and you instantly have one of the most recognizable sounds of the harp. But what about playing glisses within repertoire? Suddenly there are all kind of details and complexities to coordinate. Glissando Exercises by Jacqueline Pollauf gives you a chance to build your gliss skills, beginning with simple ascending and descending glisses and moving on to overlapping glisses, crossing glisses, and multiple glisses in one hand.

These exercises also focus on equalizing skills, so that you’ll be comfortable using either hand while being precise with the range and rhythm of the gliss. Glissando Exercises follows the same incremental approach as Jacqueline’s other highly regarded exercise books: Pedal Exercises for Harp and Exercises in Harmonics.

There are two corresponding videos provided here. The first is a demonstration of several exercises from the book, including a few thoughts for using the book. The second video is a more general introduction to glisses, demonstrating many of the techniques used throughout the book.
