My Lesson Plans

COURSE

Date:

Cherie Chooljian Due 11-24-24

Lesson Plan:

Topic #1 - Ghost of a Chance

#1 – play at 50bpm and express melody more freely now. This will help add in movements, space and beauty. Check out the way Frank phrases the melody in this track. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh6DqwQgtTI)

Topic #2 - Improvisation Exercises

#2 – Chord Scale above to half step below to all 1,3,5,7’s through 2-5-1’s. (4 exercises 4 videos) RH only shoot for 120bpm.
#3 – 2-5-1 – Improvise with RH and use half step below approach into every chord. Try to be musical with space and nice balance of skips, steps and triplets.

Topic #3 - Improvisation Tune Intergration

#4 – Work through All Things Slowly Building Lines with chord scale above to Half step below #5 – Add Ireal pro at 76bpm and solo with RH alone, no pedal, and focus on using bebop approaches to connect the chords.
