Tunes

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.

Ok, Your assignment is two parts.

1.Tell us what you liked about the class, and if there's anything you think we could do to make it better.

2. Do one of the following:

• Bass notes and melody to How Deep is the Ocean
• Chord Melody to How Deep is the Ocean

Make sure your time is good, so play this as slow as you need to keep the time. That's very very important.

If you're going to try out the online class this weekend here's a way to prepare.

Learn the melody and the chords. Don't worry about a chord melody or anything like that if you don't want to.

Be able to play through the tune EVEN if you read the music. The point is to get from the beginning to the end whether you memorize or read.

Play the the tune a little each day so it's working it's way in your mind.

Print out a lead sheet to the tune, so you can look along with us as we play through the tune.

Marie, this is for you. It's easier to read this then to read what's in the real book.

Remember if this is overwhelming try to just go one bar at a time. And remember..... No pressure!

This is a LONG but great lesson.

Who can play this etude? I'll buy Giovani's cd for the first person to post their version.

Check out the attached PDF's. Play through the examples. Can you hear it? Make Sense?

Remember when you practice anything you're practicing technique
