Assignment 2:
1. A Lydian flat7
2. C Locrian
3. F7 altered
4. D Dorian
5. B Lydian
6. Eb Aeolian

The assignment was to record examples, about 30 to 60 seconds each, playing on each of these six chord scales, demonstrating that I am comfortable with each scale. I had to transpose the scales so you hear it in concert pitch. (For example: in the assignment the first scale is A Lydian flat 7, but I had to improvise over B Lydian flat 7 so you can hear A Lydian flat 7.) Scale 1,3 and 5 is played on the trumpet, scale 2, 4 and 6 is played on the flugelhorn.

The assignment was to analyse "Olhos de Gato" and to play the melody and improvise, using theme and variation, capturing the mood of the song.... This was the most difficult assignment for me during the whole course, because of the chord scales that are used in this song! I used my flugelhorn to record this song.

My Salem Song (Original)With Jim Mcculloch

il mio standard jazz preferito e il motivo per cui dieci anni fa ho scelto di suonare jazz.
Arrangiamento per chitarre,ho usato una tecnica chiamata "walking bass" che mi permette di suonare la linea di basso accentuando anche gli accordi di riferimento.

All the things you are

This is the last last assignment... scat over the blues, singing the provided melody first. I made up some words, and some other stuff, and the phone rang, so this is a humorous way of saying thank you thank you to Berklee College of Music & vibrophonist Gary Burton for this free (FREE) course, and to Coursera and MOOCs in general for revolutionizing higher education. This college dropout has finally found an academic approach she digs!
