Most Likely Changes
When I’m teaching “off the shelf” arrangements, these are the three things I’m most likely to, um, adjust.
Music Literacy
Reapplying Dominant Chords
V-I isn’t the only option.
Melodic Anchor
Some of the most harmonically sophisticated songs share this feature.
Surfing The Music
Surfers don’t create the waves.
Reading Between The Ties
There’s a lot of approximated information in notation.
Things That Won’t Help Today
You’ve gotta set aside time for things that won’t help today.
Who Should Win?
In rehearsal, I’m asking this question when confronting close dissonances in adjacent parts.
It’s Released!
Jazz Theory for Choral Musicians is now available for purchase!
Talk About The Physics
I’m a talk-about-the-physics kind of a guy.
Book Release Date!
I’m excited to announce the official book release date for Jazz Theory for Choral Musicians.
