Hi T! Here's a review of the past lesson (June 19) and what to practice for the next lesson...

What we covered:

Below are some of the things we discussed:

1) Theory/Glossary:

  • Outside


What to practice:

1) Technique:

  • Note: Bring your Hanon.

  • Scales: C Major (3 octaves). Play 2 notes per beat, then 3 notes per beat (triplets)
2) Method:

  • "Voicing 1's" - continue to work both ways (take your time)
    1. L.H. only
    2. R.H. voicing, L.H. Bass

  • Note: for Voicings, 3rd and 7ths shouldn't go much below low C.
  • Note: Transposition/Lead-sheets
    • Decide on # of staves
    • Only treble clef staff is needed
    • ~ 8 staves (e.g., 5 // 4 / 4 / 4 / 4 // 4 / 4 // 4 / 4 // )
    • on average, 4 measures per line
3) Repertoire/Composition:

  • None at this time.
4) Listening:

  • Listen to your two "Jazz Pianists" CDs
