Workshop Recap - Harmonization Exercise Pt. 5 by Behn Gillece

This is to accompany the etude I posted. But I'll also include the etude here as well. 

Like Someone In Love is a great tune to study. Harmonically it does so many things.

For example the first two bars is a 1 to a 6, however, it sticks a dom 3 before the 6 and it sounds cool. I'll do a video on this and talk about cll the cool things. 

I played it on the MalletKat so listen to the audio for pedaling. It's pretty straight forward with pedaling. 

I usually put a bass in, but I left it out here. Notice that once you play the head you can still here the changes even if you're just playing a line and even if you don't outline the complete chord.

make one video post and put one video in the embed box. then put the links and description to all your other videos in the same post. rather than take up 5 or 6 posts. it will make things a little cleaner. 

Here is an etude I did for a student based on Maiden Voyage. I always laugh when I call something like this an etude, but I guess it sort of is. 

I just get on the Malletkat with some ideas I want to pass along to the student and I just play. Then I quantize for notation purposes and then I dump it into Musescore or Sibelius do a final clean up and print a pdf!

My student was playing this tune and was playing minor thirds over the suspended chord. A suspended 7th chord goes with a mixolydian scale.

Workshop Recap - Harmonization Exercise Pt. 2 by Behn Gillece

Oliver recently did a lesson on playing Misty solo for beginners. It's great lesson!

Meanwhile, I bought the application Staffpad for the Ipad. Where you can write your music using a Apple Pencil. That's what I like about the Ipad, it's that I can write notes and things. I miss that. 

However learning Staffpad is a pain in the is. So I've been writing out tunes that I know like Donna Lee, and here is a solo vibe version of Misty. 

Any notation problems, let me know. I didn't get to pedaling or dampening, but most of you can figure that out.
