Lesson

Download the PDF, add in the chords and play the solo. Notice how we can hear the tune in the solo. Check out some of the more interesting notes with the chords to find out what extension the note is. Then finally why not try to make your own solo over the tune!

BTW - I'm learning Sibelius and did the solo in one pass using flexitime!

A very simple lesson (In theory). Learn the melody. Play it with the rests. Remember the rests count as much as the notes.

Here you go Carolyn!

Hi U of Del Students,

Tony has asked me to assign one of my etudes for you to work on. Here is a link to my etude on How Deep Is The Ocean:

http://www.vibesworkshop.com/audio/totm-how-deep-ocean-etude-no-1-behn-…

It doesn't have to be perfect, but work on it and try to get it close to tempo. This etude will help you with ideas for lines. You can listen to my version of it, as well as the other members who have posted it.

A lesson on applying patterns to improvisation....specifically standards with ii-v-i changes. Refer to the pdf for a copy of the patterns.
