Welcome to Discover | Learn | Play.

Thanks for those who attended last night.

If you haven't listened to Dan's choice of album from a fortnight ago here it is: 'My Funny Valentine' by Miles Davis. A great conversation about the album too! 

The next CD to be discussed is 'Inside Straight' by The Cannonball Adderley quintet (Picked by Dom) - see below. 

Here's a link to the album on the following platforms: 

Apple Music
Spotify 
Amazon
YouTube - (Link to Inside Straight - you'll need to fish around for the rest of the album!)

In tomorrow's session, we will be looking at some exercises which will help you to achieve the following:

- Learn the basic chord sequence to a blues.
- Hear the changes to a blues sequence.
- Help build technique on your instrument.
- Engage your brain whilst playing.
(We'll discuss more of this in the session). 
- Understand the importance of rhythm and simple ways to alter the exercises to work this effectively.
(We'll discuss more of this in the session too). 

​Below are the exercises which we will aim to play through together tomorrow evening. Please download these and have them to hand during the session. For those of you who are more advanced and would like more of a challenge don't worry - I've got it covered!
