Thank you. This "process" is just what I've been looking for. I'm still not there yet, but I'm feeling good about how you've broken down the mechanics. I've taught middle school choral music for 33 years, I appreciate your warnings about the dangers of using "force." The "No pain No gain" philosophy does not apply to musicianship. Keep up the good work!
@UkuleleZen7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching David! I'm happy to hear that you resonate with the lighter way, the softer path towards absorbing musical material & the physical gestures that create them. In my experience the music can literally "play itself" when I imprint it with an effortless touch. Thirty-three years of choral teaching? Wow! I'm impressed! Hope you're having a great day on your end of the line. Be well, Stu

I'm improvising a little Flamenco music - based on the Flamenco form "Malegeña".

I have a beginners question about those improvisations midway. Are you improvising on a particular scale? If so, what scale?

itaibh1 Hey there - I will have lessons on improvisation in the future. As far as your question goes: For this little jam I'm playing a scale that is the D harmonic minor - but I am playing over a progression of A7 to Bb, so I'm using the notes of D harmonic minor & starting on A. The notes would be A, Bb, C#, D, E, F, G. Enjoy!
