Improvisation week 4

This week in improv, we were still working on the same D minor pentatonic scale, working around the room taking 4 bars of solo each, then we went on to taking a chorus each on a twelve bar sequence.

We have some more homework to do, which is to write either a tune, or a solo which we will play to the class. We can also transcribe these out so that everyone else can play them, one score would have to be in Eb for the saxophone.

I am still trying to practice on a keyboard as much as I can but I find the actual playing of a keyboard very difficult

I now understand slightly better how drummers will be graded in this class as I was worried that it was going to be on keyboards, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
