Approach Note Freedom-Lesson 10

Description

In  this 10th lesson of the series I teach on how to work through the approach note velocity material by focusing on the starting notes.  In this lesson I show you how to start using the approaches to resolve the 9th of the chords. The goal of this lesson is to improve your ears so that you hear the quality of the 9th against major and minor chords and know how to resolve it.  We talk about 7 ways to resolve it that are listed on the PDF.  By memorizing the resolutions and approaches in every key you will begin to have more options available to you while improvising.  I demonstrate on my tenor sax how to practice the material and give tips and insight on how to use it and internalize it.  When you are done with this series of lessons you will be amazed at the technique and vocabulary you will have gained through this process. In order to get the most out of this lesson you will need the “Approach Note Velocity” book as well as the intro lesson to this series. This lesson also comes with a  pdf sheet outlining your assignment in the key of C. (Audio & Video)
