Hi Emma! Here's a review of the past lesson (November 23) and what to practice for the next lesson...

What we covered:

Below are some of the things we discussed:

1) Theory/Glossary:

  • No new terms this week.


What to practice:

1) Technique:

  • Diminished Scales (H,W,H,W...)
  • - Review these with R.H., 3 octaves
    • A) Recognize visual patterns in the C, C#, D scales
    • B) If time work out all "12"
2) Method:

  • None at this time.
3) Repertoire/Composition:

  • "Unforgettable"
    • consider an intro at the bracket
    • try the "2-note movement", 3rd bar of the intro
    • maybe try rubato, until end of the intro/turnaround

  • "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise"
    • Try out the new voicings
    • experiment with a little improv
    • try using the metronome on 2 + 4

  • If time permits:
    • Add voicings to: "Take the A Train," "All The Things You Are"
    • Blue Bossa - work with your play-a-longs
4) Listening:
