Maiden Voyage Etude - No such thing as a minor suspension :-)

Here is an etude I did for a student based on Maiden Voyage. I always laugh when I call something like this an etude, but I guess it sort of is. 

I just get on the Malletkat with some ideas I want to pass along to the student and I just play. Then I quantize for notation purposes and then I dump it into Musescore or Sibelius do a final clean up and print a pdf!

My student was playing this tune and was playing minor thirds over the suspended chord. A suspended 7th chord goes with a mixolydian scale. 

This Is So Beautiful

This is great and fun to watch. And so well done. And Alexey is a great player. 

It seems to me this isn’t the audio of the actual outdoor playing. I think we would hear more noise. But maybe I’m wrong. What do you think? Anyway I love watching even if the audio is pre-recorded. It’s still great.
