Lesson

Hey everyone, To reaffirm my belief in the value of composing alternate melodies, I'd like to offer up a Free CD of mine to the first two people to post an alternate melody to any of the Tunes of the Month that we have gone over on the site! Post a lead sheet and an audio recording of you playing the melody if possible!

Here is the 3rd part of a lesson series on Building a Voicing Vocabulary. This lesson, like the others, is intended to be listened to after having read the PDF which accompanies it.
