Playing the notes sporadically or Staccato is what Mr. Rida explains in this lesson while giving examples on how to play it.
__
Welcome, I am Rida Bdeer, the Egyptian Nay player from i3zif.com. Today we will talk about B- Staccato. B-staccato is the sporadic sound, like this *Play music* here, the tongue does like this, watch how my tongue does *Play music* now we will attempt to play an actual tune with this method. *Play music* this is in slow motion, now a bit faster *Play music* there is faster, that I will play not for you to play at the moment, but I need to show you all the B-staccato forms, and you will learn them along the way in future stages. This is the beginning, and the future stages depend on it. It sounds like this *Play music* here the tongue plays an important role, you will not play this now, but it is sort of an exercise for the tongue. It is important. Note this, like we said *Play music* what is required from you now is *Play music* . there is no musical piece that is entirely B-Staccato, only a few parts of it, but we play this to exercise our tongue. The tongue does this, and I can do faster *Play music*this is what I was just doing with my tongue, and it is required in playing.
About Teacher
Reda Bedair
Reda Bedair was born in Alexandria, 1951 AD. At this time, he learned at the hands of senior masters, one of them was the Turkish Professor Milad Mansour, the zither player. Reda learned the Arabic strophic poems (Muwasshahat) and the music keys (Maqamat) and was taught by the Italian master Costa Menolli, the pianist, to enhance reading the musical note until he joined the Arab Music Institute in Alexandria to polish his talent and begin the right way. He learned the Oriental keys and the rhythmical meters at the Institute and learned the rules of reading the musical note that he had been taught before by the Masters. Beside his study at the Arab Music Institute, He studied outside the Institute with other professors as there was no study of the “Nay” instrument at the Institute. At the age of twelve, his artistic talent was adopted by one of the Revolution’s men, Mr. Hussein El-Shafeei, Deputy of the late President Gamal Abdel-Nasser. At this young age, Reda started working with several bands in Alexandria city among them was the Radio (broadcasting) band. His name started shining in the sky of Alexandria city… he become the most famous “Nay” player in Alexandria. The Egyptian Ministry of Culture honored him in the attendance of President Mohammed Hosni Mubarak, in the inauguration of the New Nubia Museum in Aswan. Mr. President asked him about his distinct artistic work of the Pharaonic “Nay”, which acquired a worldwide reputation and has been broadcast on stations of all countries of the world.
