Will Someone Else Teach This? :-) - Progression

tonymiceli 5 January 2021

Look at the attached pdf.

It's a very interesting progression. Can you figure out the chords? What is interesting about the chords. The progression.

Why is it good to do in all the keys?

What's interesting about the line?

Why don't you guys do this.

How about a person can only answer one of the questions, meaning put up 1 thing about this progression. I don't care if it's a pro or a student. However pros can certainly hint at things!

Learning from the Balafon: Lesson 18: 6 + 4 African Bell

Jerry Leake 4 January 2021

6 + 4 African Bell Perspectives

This video explores a contemporary treatment of a bell pattern from the country of Benin in West Africa. These drumset examples are adapted to playing the balafon, but can be applied to any instrument. The 2-bar pattern in 12/8 is built with the first bar in a “6” feel and the second in “4.” The alternation of 6 and 4 creates a profound shift in perspective as it is played by the musician and heard by the listener.
