December 5th, 2023 Tuesday - Virtual only hosted by SPPTA
Tuesday, December 5th, 2023
Time: 10:30 am - Noon
Location: ZOOM (link in December newsletter)
Presenter: Mary Louise Knutson
Topic: JAZZ AS A SECOND LANGUAGE: 7 Ways to Build Vocabulary.
Description: If you traveled to a foreign country and didn’t know the language, you’d likely feel pretty frustrated by your inability to communicate or express yourself. This is exactly how most people feel when they first try to improvise. Most improvising musicians experience jazz as a language and know that having even a little vocabulary - licks, scales, and patterns, which function like words, phrases, and sentences - can go a long way. In this presentation you’ll discover seven inroads to building vocabulary that will ease you into speaking the language of jazz.
