Max - The St. Thomas group had a slim turnout for this session, but I think we all still improved. Once again we worked on playing the chord tones on the changes (1235, 1357, 1213, etc). You could challenge yourself even more with big intervals, such as playing 173. This time we spent a majority of our time on You'd be so Nice. In the last 8 bars of the tune the correct chords should be C#diminished then Dmin then F# dim and Gmin. We sung the lyrics of the song a few times together and did some scatting. We did the same on Have you Met. Keep working on different exercises with the chord tones and keep listening to the recordings of the tunes.
Rimmy - This week Tim was out again and we continued working on Fiera Livre. However, this time we spent more time working on improvising with the horn players by having them simulate a piano riff. This allowed for the horn players to identify pitches that sound good over the changes as well as what the changes actually are. To finish up this weeks session we did a read through of another latin chart that was handed out by Mr. Bergevin entitled On the Trail.
Cedar - This week Tim was out and we had a sub instructor. We continued work on the song Fiera Livre and talked about the background of the song. We also discussed methods of practicing improvisation both instrument specific and general exercises. Practice Fiera Livre as well as the other tunes we didn’t get to for next week.
Kyle - Though we missed our fearless leader, we played through Sunny Side of the Street, and a bit of Driftin'. We also discussed the circle of 4ths and practiced playing a 1,2,3(M/m),5 pattern though all the keys.
