Kool KordZ - CXXII - The Debussy Files

Kool KordZ - CXXII #122 - The Debussy Files

Learn to see and hear a scale or mode the way Debussy did.

Experiment by playing a scale in the style of Debussy's Suite Bergamasque c. 1905

Use different bass notes in a scale, and be slightly ambiguous about the tonal centre.

Go deep, you may just find some other ways to get inside a scale.

S. Richter

Branford

Keith and Charlie

Joni

GENERAL NOTES

Play in tempo (metronome) or out of tempo (no metronome) or the other way around.
Constantly vary your combinations both from the steps, and from the hands.
Look at the harmony of each chord and what scale would fit best.
Gradually increase tempo
SING THE NOTES! USE YOUR EARS
Individualise the exercise. Become yourself and.............
Have Fun

Sometimes the simple things can be the most challenging. I find that by mastering the inherent simplicity in songs and pieces I can go further into complexity with more confidence.

There are some sheets that some of my inspirational teachers and I have written out (not in collaboration). Some of the exercises are my own work, others I have simply interpreted or wrote down to further the message of them from my own perspective. The PDF folder is a work in progress. Like all Jazz/Music education it continues to evolve. I will continue to update this folder with the material that I make on the video. The order of progress for me is, practice, make the video, and then write it down. The Link can be found here:
