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.

2. Do one of the following:

當網站上出現這種資源時，就是最好自己學習的時候，看你可以從這短短的幾小節，學到什麼東西。
PDF中任何一個和聲配置（Voicing）你都可以轉到不同的12個調中。
比如說第一個和弦，是Gminor6的密集和弦配置，你把它依照循環四度，轉到12個調裏，分別是G→C→F→Bb→Eb→Ab→Db→Gb→B→E→A→D→G
看你能不能打出每一個調minor6和弦，和聲配置就是這樣練。
然後節拍器開著，看能不能不掉拍子跟著速度演奏。
你可以得到學到很多很多密集和聲配置。

光是這樣這個PDF中就有學不完練不完的東西，加油：）

I've been working on some bebop heads and just using them to work on my left hand. My thought is, if that gets comfortable with smackin' down double stops, that that will help my four mallet playing and enable me to do some fun things over lines.

It's not a big deal, but it's something I think about and have fun with. It's as if you're playing a line that is primarily a single line and with your left hand you're slipping in double stops. I thought it would make me more fluid.

Great camera shot of gary playing.

Check out how locked in the time he is and how clean all his phrases are.

Here's a prerequisite for the Shapes and Patterns of Music sight reading. My recommendation is to play these exercises as fast as you can but start at the beginning no matter how proficient you already are. If it's too easy, play it faster!
