  • So helpful.

    This is exactly what I needed. Lectures are so crisp and thoughtfully constructed. Finally an instructor who is not only a jazz performer but an actual teacher — a communicator who can still see these subjects through the eyes of a student. Thanks a million!! Started from the beginning and working my way through.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Christmas Time is Here, Melodic Analysis
Q: When learning the melody, should I practice it exactly as written? Or should I feel free to add ornamentation?
Initially, you should play the melody as pure as possible without added embellishments to understand its essence. Once you understand the melody, you can then explore ornamentations for expression.
Christmas Time is Here, Harmonic Analysis
Q: Do you have any pointers that I can use to help me learn the chords once and for all?
Dr. Lawrence stresses the importance of having a consistent practice routine to cycle through chords quickly, along with techniques like grouping by type or key, practicing progressions, and engaging in 'paper practice' to improve chord recall.
A Beautiful Friendship, Improvisation
Q: What's the difference between improvising with chord tones and scales?
There is no difference; both require an extensive rhythmic vocabulary and balance of movement for effective improvisation.
A Beautiful Friendship, Harmonic Analysis
Q: What is the best and most effective way to approach studying and practicing harmony?
The best approach is to understand harmony as the sound of two or more notes played together, seeing harmony, arpeggios, and scales as interconnected. Practicing should also incorporate melody, as they are the same thing in different forms.
A Beautiful Friendship, Melodic Analysis
Q: How much should I practice each day?
Practice should be driven by specific objectives, not just time. Once you complete your practice objective, you can stop, regardless of how long it takes.
