Song For My Father Etude For Meliza

Write the chords in.

Play the etude.

Can you improvise your own version of this?

Do you know the scales?

Quarter notes are great for practicing improv, because you have to play each beat but you also have a lot of time to think.

Can you put chords in? Do you have the chords memorized?

This is a quick and dirty etude. If there are any glaring mistakes let me know.

Misty For Alex

OK, as you guys know I have a very busy schedule. I'm sure many of you also have crazy schedules.

I banged this out for my student Alex.

It's a chord study. Write in the chord names, memorize the etude and change rhythms, whatever you want. Just study the voicings.
