This lesson will be more valuable after you learn the tune! - Tony Miceli

Here's David performing 'Everything I Love', the lesson will be up soon!

Especially check out the left hand and the counter lines. Think about the harmony and how David is representing it in the left hand. This is a really interesting and great study for all of us. - Tony Miceli

Here are some exercises I was working on the other day. You can stick them into your improvs as vehicles to get from one point to another nicely and create a bit of excitement and change. The first one is one creates the dimished scale but the rest are quite different. I call them "interval scales". After you do them with the half step between each other interval, go back and replace the half step with a whole step, then again with a minor third, Fourth etc...

It's also good for ear training on intervals.
Hope you enjoy.

Here's some great advice from John Piper.- Tony Miceli

I was just walking around Dallas today and look who I found! - Tony Miceli

Let's back up a couple days. I saw Burton play, the music was great. Gary was talking about how it was new music and making jokes about maybe making mistakes. Well if they did, it didn't matter. These are serious and heavy pros. I know what went on behind the scene to make this first night work, however I assumed Scott Colley, and Antonio and Julian came in with the music down. But I could be wrong. Although it sounded like they had it down.

Hey Everyone,

Tony asked me to do another etude with a Blue Bossa theme. You will find that this etude is loosely based on Blue Bossa, with a few alterations (some reharmization and interludes). Hopefully, this may give a few ideas for those who are working on the TOTM. I recorded a version of it, and the pdf is attached. Please fire away with any questions. Enjoy!
