Improvisation on 6 different modes: A Lydian flat7; C Locrian; F7 Altered; D DOrian; B Lydian; Eb Aeolian

Assignment 2 (Jazz Improvisation)

My attempt for the 3rd assignment of Jazz Improvisation (at Coursera). This as a hell of a challenge for me, since Jazz is really something new for me. Still lot's to improve!!

Assignment 3 500 Miles High (Jazz Improvisation)

This is an assignment for the Songwriting course on Coursera (by Pat Pattison from Berklee). Don't mind the awful/cheesy voiceacting, it's just  about rhythm ideas!

Assignment 4 Songwriting (Coursera)

This is my 4th assignment for the Jazz Improvisation course on Coursera (by Gary Burton, from Berklee). This an improvisation attempt over Memories Of Tomorrow from Keith Jarret. Hope you enjoy!

Assignment 4 Memories Of Tomorrow Trio (Jazz Improvisation)

This is the first part part of the 5th (and final) assignment for the Jazz Improvisation course (By Gary Burton from Berklee). The idea is to play a  given melody in the first round and develop a different theme on the 2nd round. From the 3rd round I started improvising and by the 5th round I started getting back to my theme, with some improvisation details. Hope you like it!

Assignment 5 Part1 The Blues (Jazz Improvisation)

This is the 2nd part of the 5th (and final) assignment for Jazz Improvisation (with Gary Burton from Berklee). This one was tough, it's a very peculiar sounding song, which makes the task of improvising even tougher. I did the melody for the 1st round, and from there I developed a theme based on kind of a chromatic scale. Then I improvised a little. Hope you enjoy!

Assignment 5 Part2 Olhos De Gato (Jazz Improvisation)

This is my assignment for week 5 of Songwriting (by Pat Pattison from Berklee). The goal was to write a full song. This one is called "Square One". I arranged some simple "ballad chords" and sang the lyrics I wrote for the assignment.

Remember: I'm no singer, I'm just trying to suggest a vocal melody for the assignment!

Assignment 5 Square One (Songwriting)

This is a second version of my song "Square One". The idea of this assignment is to apply some finishing touches, namely on phrasing techniques.
