Re: [Harp-L] New tremolo harmonica lessons by Tony Eyers

["Doug H" <dough.harpl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tony,

My Mandarin is a little shaky but that doesn't stop me from being curious about "Asian numbered notation" - especially how the rhythm info is included.  Is there a place on your site or elsewhere that I could find out more?  Thanks.

  I've just released a set of 10 advanced tremolo lessons. Details are at 
  http://www.harmonicaacademy.com/categories/20101027

  I've now written 30 tremolo lessons, from beginning to (semi) advanced. 
  As far as I know, they are only (English) tremolo lessons available, 
  apart from a book by Gerhardt Muller, head of Hohner harmonicas. My 
  tremolo lessons on on my Harmonica Academy site.

  I've also written these lessons for the Chinese market, they are also on 
  http://www.fuyinkouqin.com (for those who would prefer them in 
  Mandarin). It seems that I'm the only person doing this in China. If I 
  arrive at the next SPAH in a limo, you'll know that it's worked out 
  well. If I arrive in a canoe you can guess otherwise.

  One aspect of the lessons is the use of Asian numbered notation. I did 
  this with an eye to my Asian audience, but it actually makes a fair bit 
  of sense. It's kind of like tab, except with rhythm information 
  included. The Asian players use this notation pretty much exclusively, 
  for highly complex pieces.
