That class is always very relevant to me, but still trying to figure out what the hell do Bach four part voice writing has to do with jazz,lol. I think most students don't have problem working hard as long as they know the real world connection. Yes we wish we can always play with our souls but a large part of paying dues is playing music u don't necessarily dig. From what I gather from CONSISTENTLY working musicians is that they have the raw technique & skills to consistently perform at a high level no matter the style or emotional connection. Even Miles Davis said you can only play so much u hear. (Now how did Chet Baker do what he did is what I'd like to know bcuz I am personally tired of parallel fifths haunting me,lol)charmainehttp://www.peabodyjazz.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713397068832099475.post-46275135558844062162010-11-22T07:12:30.199-08:002010-11-22T07:12:30.199-08:00George, You lost me with all those notations!!!

(This was a piano class for non-piano playing music majors.) These days, as I've been spending more and more time with the piano, those lessons have been really helpful. It works, being able to think in terms of "the one chord" and "the five chord" in any key.<br /><br />Here's a link to some of Ron's music, with his late wife, Ronnie. <br />http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/wellsDave Bittnerhttp://www.pixelworkshop.comnoreply@blogger.com
