Zoom Workshop Series: Session Playing - #2 Tune Recognition/Musical Analysis
— (EDT, UTC-04) — (EDT, UTC-04)
ZOOM
Next up we will be learning about two very important skills that are vital to your ability to comfortably play in a session. Tune recognition is the simple, yet crucial ability of recognizing the type of tunes/sets that are being played in a timely manner so you can join in on the tune with absolute confidence. Musical Analysis is the important skill of being able to identify and execute grooves that fit with the tune and complement the melody. As tunes go by quickly, this is a skill that involved a well-trained ear to pick up on the subtleties that can really make or break a tune's accompaniment. Just as our ears need to be trained, we will also learn how to apply this method and utilize various grooves, fills and ornamentation to fit with the tune.
