Post one of the following on this thread. 1. The line just as it is 2. The line in a few different keys 3. The line played inside an improvisation over any tune you like. (It works best over a major chord) Look forward to seeing your version!

Challenge! Record your version of this, depending on what’s doable for you, either… In the original key (C Major over a G7) In a few other keys Inside an improvisation over a standard Or as we did last night in practise club, see below… We worked on this one in practise club last night. We took the pattern that this line is based on and played it all the way through all the chords in the C major scale, helping us understand why the melody works and how we can use it. What does this do? Helps us navigate the major scale with patterns and enclosures Drills the sound into our ears and fingers Serves as a technical exercise for our left hand If you are interested in trying out the jazz violin practise club for freejust send me a message or comment on this post.

Won't be here for transcription lab, nor practice club, on Monday, so posting transcription here. Happy weekend all.

Challenge! Record and post one of the following… A video of you playing the line “as is” over a backing track (anything that has a long ii-V-I line in it in Bb) A video of you playing it in a few (or all 12) keys. A video of you using the line inside an improvisation. This line uses a few different chromatic concepts over a ii-V-I sequence in Bb. Enjoy! Looking forward to hearing what you do with it. (Transcription is in the snippets course in the classroom)

CHALLENGE! Record a version of this either in the original key of D in another key/a selection of different keys inside an improvisation over some changes (coquette could be a good one) Really this is a bunch of patterns within the D major Scale. It’s quite long and worth practising as a way of getting some “flow” into your playing. enjoy!
