The Level One: Martin & Fernando began introducing the A natural minor / C major pentatonic. In our Group Meeting we continued circulating, this time in these keys, singly & in groups of two and three. Martin & Fernando are now about to introduce lateral fingerings. At the end of the meeting, questions were invited. There was only one.
