Touch Of Your Lips Etude

tonymiceli 12 September 2023

Here's another one of my etudes. A great tune 'The Touch Of Your Lips'.

It's the head and then one chorus of some four mallet stuff. 

 

Your Job is to put the changes in, study the music and write in all the alterations. I.E. if it's Bb7 look at the music. Am I playing a b9 well know it's Bb7b9

You should be able to play it by yourself and make it swing.

The Modes

tonymiceli 25 January 2026

I work for a non profit called Global Academy For Inspirational Arts (GAIA). We work with music students in Costa Rica. I had to make a tutorial on the modes and thought maybe some of you would find it useful. Everything you need is attached. I would love to see some of you work on this and give me your thoughts. (Including misspelled words, I still have to put it in Spanish!)

I remember learning the modes in classical theory class. And online later when I learned modes from the same note, could I really here the difference between them.
