Day 4 of the 5 Day Challenge-Language
Comment “day 4” on this post to keep up your streak! Use this thread to ask any questions and post your progress video! Hopefully by now you are starting to see two things; How a jazz musician thinks and practises. The benefits of showing up for yourself regularly and practising something new! Today is all about “jazz language” and how we use pre prescribed melodic material inside an improvisation. Enjoy!

@Skylar Perran skylar this is good. I can’t help but notice that we’re the only two really in it. Iron sharpens iron.

recorded this in the bathroom of a friends house much to their complaint. I realized i couldn’t miss the streak though. Jazz stops at nothing. Sorry i didn’t play the lick the second time through the chorus, i was recording this on my phone while also having the backing track come out of my phone. Pictured is the faucet used to prop it up. Thank you matt for the guidance as always, this one was rough.

Day 3 of the 5 Day Challenge-Chord Tone Motifs
Comment “day 3” on this post to keep up your streak! Use this thread to post your progress videos and ask any questions you have about the challenge. Well done for making it to day 3! Today is all about creating small two note motifs from the chord tones and using them to improvise with. It’s an exercise that I think anyone at any level can learn from. Forcing yourself to stay simple can help you find inspiration a lot easier than a blank canvas. Looking forward to your videos!

so tricky not to just start going at it and improvising! I think breaking it down is helping me realize when the changes happen though - then i can think of the piece with a greater lens.

Day 2 of the 5 Day Challenge - The Major Scale
Comment “Day 2” on this post to keep your streak! Congrats for making it to day 2! Progress starts with consistency. Little and often is the best way to learn anything new! Today is about trial and error with the sounds of the major scale over the A section of “Lady Be Good”. You will be improvising with rhythm and using your ear to see what sounds good to you. Get to the classroom and start the video, show us what you come up with by posting a progress video on this post or use this thread to ask any questions you have about the challenge today. Happy practising!

Day 1 of the 5 Day Challenge!
It’s your first day! Congrats for taking the challenge. Comment “day 1” on this post so we can cheer you on and get cracking in the course in the classroom! In our first video lesson in the course we are looking at learning the melody to Lady Be Good by ear and committing it to memory, using it to bounce off of with some improv. Use this thread to ask any question or post your progress video when you have practised the steps in the video. Happy practising
