It was wonderful working with you all this week! Good work. See you in two weeks.

Susan

  1. Practice all major modes and their 7th arpeggios transposed to C. Practice along to a metronome at a reasonable tempo and work up.
  2. Continue Galper #26
  3. Work on Galper #27, #28.

Jonathan

  1. continue Eb and A major scales along to the metronome at 60bpm. Practice legato tongued (tenuto) on the way up and staccato (detached) on the way down.
  2. Moonglow:
    • Check out some recordings of the melody on Youtube
    • Practice grace note approach from D# to E on its own: practice in front of a mirror, starting with long notes and working shorter.
    • Work on the rhythms of the tricky bars with a metronome at 120 bpm. Remember, both start on the upbeat of one; wait for one, and come in right after.
  3. Check out the Galper Clarinet Method.

  2. Continue Sherele
    • make sure to play short notes very short, with a tongue stop.
    • Isolate triplets at bar 18 and practice along to a metronome at 50 bpm, slowly moving up in tempo.
  3. Blue Monk
    • Practice arpeggiating all chords along to the playalong (one octave) for Blue Monk on iRealB Pro (or a Bb blues playalong on youtube).
    • Try playing certain notes an octave up as the first octave becomes easier.
