Let's Play Jazz - Learning to Swing
|
This resource is about the first steps in learning to "swing" eighth notes. The first exercise emphasizes the difference between straight eighths and swing eighths. The next two focus on some basic scalar patterns. The final exercise is a mini etude to apply the swing concept. I am more of the mindset of listening and matching style when it comes to jazz, so I didn't give metric explanations (i.e. triplets, etc) to explain the concept. Students should listen, sing, and play.
