Private Instruction Through Correspondence
..............with Tim Price (individual lesson tailored to student) cassettes, mini disc etc and Manuscript.
Fee: 35 minutes - $50
Many uses of scales, arpeggios, approach techniques, target notes and guide tone lines.
Triadic Improvisation through standard chord progressions, then with less common progressions and finally adding approaches to the triads.
Rhythm
Modal harmony and ways to improvise in modal situations.
Chord substitutions.
LEARNING STANDARDS
Expansions on lines you know
Ear Training
Uses of diminished scales and their relationship to dominant chords.
Intervalic approach to improv.
Pentatonics, and melodic minor modes. ..... Special attention to time and tempo.
Learn to retain tempo the same way you retain pitch. It's all vibrations. When you're not playing, keep singing toyourself and imagining the playing of what you sing. See how long you can go away from your instrument and come back to the same pitch and pulse. Try it- it works- that alone thought wise is a lesson in itself.
When you contact me, please include a short paragraph about what playing experience you have and where you would like to be as a player. Example: Want to read better, learn to improvise on chord changes, groove better, build technique etc.
I've been a student of Charlie Banacos over 17 years via correspondence... I've also been teaching ( on & off ) this way for over 15 years.
I've re-designed my teaching on this correspondence lesson approach to really help you reach your goals.
