Description:
|
This class is for those that wish to begin the exploration
of improvisation. The class will involve learning
patterns and concepts for building your vocabulary of
improvisational techniques. Examples of these techniques
will be shown within the concept of tunes and chord
progressions we play every day. The student will learn to
play riffs, licks, and musical motifs giving them the
foundation to build their improvisational vocabulary.
In the solo arranging workshop, the student will learn to
expand songs into a more complex presentation. Using
layering techniques, scales, chord progressions and rhythmic
devices, the student will turn an ordinary song into an
impressive solo arrangement. Much of what the student
learns in the improv. workshop will be put to use in the
arranging seminar.
This is a very exciting package and has generated much
interest. It would be a good idea to sign up early for
this one.
