Ruts to Refined Solos

Saturday November 14th

Class Time: 9am Pacific/11am Central/12pm Eastern (class will run approx. 1 hour 15 minutes)

C harmonica

Join Ronnie as we work on breaking repetitive patterns and learn how to create more intentional solos.

Since there will be many areas that we will explore & discuss, we will just grab one idea for each.  Ronnie will provide you with examples and show you how you can implement these strategies in practice. Topics will include: 

• • multiple positions within a single song
  • Actively listening to multiple styles/genres of music as a daily practice. How do we do this?
    
  • phrasing work: taking one idea and learning to express it multiple ways
    
  • developing motifs- Foundations of Improv 1 class concept
    
  • starting your ideas from new note choices
  • switching up your practice routine- don't let your brain become idle. 
    
  • recording yourself for tangible progress. What do we do with those recordings?
    
  • utilizing less notes to say more
  • use of long notes: how and why
    
  • using chords to support within solos
  • leaving space-specific approaches to practice
