The Electrik Blue Jazz & Blues Educational Mini-Suite Jazz Ensemble - Digital Sheet Music

The Entire!!! "Electrik Blue Jazz & Blues Educational Mini-Suite"!

The Entire!!! "Electrik Blue Jazz & Blues Educational Mini-Suite"! This isn't just a set of charts; it is its own curriculum, founded within the national standards, designed to bridge the gap between "playing the notes" and "understanding the language." Instead of writing a piece and then trying to figure out how to teach it, I tried something a little different for me: I wrote down an entire system of concepts, then created all of the supporting material.What’s Inside??? - You're going to be shocked! Electrik Blue (Advanced - Chart only available for $60.00): The flagship Grade 4+ professional-level performance piece. It’s a hard-swinging exploration of modern commercial jazz and blues that challenges your soloists to create a memorable melody, rhythm section to create a memorable groove, and band members to create a memorable performance!Electrik Blue, Too! (Beginning/Intermediate - Chart only available for $50.00): A grade 2-3 version vertically-aligned with "Electrik Blue". It uses the same melodic and harmonic DNA as the advanced chart but is simplified accordingly, keeping the ranges and rhythms accessible so your entire program can study the same vocabulary simultaneously. ** Note, this is not for beginning students. This is for students with a couple of years under their belt who are just now beginning their Jazz Ensemble journey.The Text: 14 pages of educational material navigating through the beginning steps of improvisation down to a visual explanation of proper placement of swing rhythms - AND - 12 pages of supplemental practice exercises that directly connect the two charts! This is the heart of the project, a specialized pedagogical Jazz/Blues road Atlas that introduces amazing destinations like, chord symbols with extensions and the "Ebb & Flow" of triplet to 16th relationships in swing. But you also get a solid route to take by using the fully integrated and conceptualized 10 note hybrid blues scale. Explained harmonies and harmonic progressions, -and- the 24-pulse subdivision grid. Basically, an entire Triptik with planned routes and what to do in case of a "detour"National Standards Aligned: These materials are ready to drop into your lesson plans, hitting the National Core Arts Standards for Music through improvisation, interpretation, and ensemble precision.This suite is designed to help your students move past the "musical mystery" and finally get a handle on why things feel and sound the way they do. It was super fun to create - fulfilling part of a longtime passionate quest to put a different spin on traditional information in hopes of reaching students who are beginning the transformation from concrete to abstract thinkers. For $5.00 more - you can get the complete package. It’s a blast to play, fun to teach, and a genuine way to give your program growth toward a more professional sound and edge.Enjoy and... Keep making music, because if we don't... A.I. will!!!Shane.
