KAME week 3

This week I worked on a blues-type progression using A D E and E A B. I wanted to get used to some new chords and some slightly different voicings; I didn’t work on soloing, only bass notes in left hand and harmony in the right hand. The shuffle feel wasn’t too much of an issue it is more just the transitioning between chords that slows me down, especially because of the use of sharps (black keys). I’ve also been working on my Curwen hand-signs and singing, I’ve got all the Kodaly sheets from Canvas printed in a folder and have just been working on my singing pattern Do, Do Re Do, Do Re Mi Re Do etc and then descending from the octave up. My goal in the next few weeks is to move away from using root position voicings all the time. I watched the video below and it was useful, though I wanted to move away from the key of C and I tried to make my own little blues bass line to go with it; I didn’t get around to using 7th chords just yet but I will next week.
