Hey all- been working at tackling some standards. Here is some Au Privave at a tempo that’s just out of comfort for me- but getting there.
Working on phrasing and vocabulary and tackling those quick 2-5-1s. Wanting to hear about what more experienced people/players are hearing.
I can be extremely hard on myself in terms of it sounds like jazz or even sounds good. Thanks in advance!
New to jazz and will be for sometime. Been loving the listening and all the challenges that come with playing. Trying to get better at phrasing.
Hey everyone this will be my first year teaching 8th grade U.S. history. I am pretty lost when it comes to planning a lesson on Indigenous tribes/peoples and would love any recommendation on where to start when it comes to planning this unit. Our textbook and material overall is fine- but its information and guidance on this topic is horrendous. Does anyone have a unit they would mind sharing?
I’m a guitarist who plays and practices pretty consistently, and I get hired for a variety of local gigs. Music is a big part of my life—but I also work a regular 9–5.
For the last ~6 months I’ve been studying jazz seriously with a teacher, and I’m at the point where I really want to start a trio or start hitting jazz jams.
The issue is… I’ve got some pretty bad imposter syndrome around it. I think a lot of it comes from not being “full-time” in music. Like I don’t feel legit enough to step into that scene yet.
Curious—are there people here who work a day job and still play jazz gigs or sessions at night? How did you get over that mental hurdle and actually start putting yourself out there?
