Tunes

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.

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.

For those of you who took the class today, thank you! Me and Behn are really trying to get some stuff going. I've been meeting with Behn and we've been brain storming.

Ok, Your assignment is two parts.

1.Tell us what you liked about the class, and if there's anything you think we could do to make it better.

2. Do one of the following:

• Bass notes and melody to How Deep is the Ocean
• Chord Melody to How Deep is the Ocean

Make sure your time is good, so play this as slow as you need to keep the time. That's very very important.

If you're going to try out the online class this weekend here's a way to prepare.

Learn the melody and the chords. Don't worry about a chord melody or anything like that if you don't want to.

Be able to play through the tune EVEN if you read the music. The point is to get from the beginning to the end whether you memorize or read.

Play the the tune a little each day so it's working it's way in your mind.

Print out a lead sheet to the tune, so you can look along with us as we play through the tune.
