Playing Hoagy Carmichael's classic composition "Skylark" this morning before an enjoyable day of teaching at Berklee. So many great songs written by Hoagy Carmichael and this is one of them.

Volumes 1 and 2 of the four volume series The Complete Guide To Improvisation are now available via my website, Amazon and the Berklee College of Music bookstore.

For information regarding private lessons either in Boston at Berklee or via Skype or Face Time, please visit www:edsaindon.com

Motivic Playing: Practicing today at Berklee on "All Of Me" with a focus on motives. More or less changing motives every eight measures. Motivic Playing is a chapter in The Complete Guide To Improvisation Volume Two.
