MyNameIsMark Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hi all, I just signed up to this, I'm not affiliated. For aspiring Jazzers, Morley College (Paul Westwood) is running an online "Jazz Bass" course Thursday evenings 18:30 - 20:00 from Sept 2022 to Jun 2023. It's actually split into 3 separate semesters, I missed the boat for last year, but had a very promising 1:1 with Paul. https://www.morleycollege.ac.uk/courses/course/jazz-bass/ Quote What you will learn For reasonably experienced bass players (double bass or bass guitar) who wish to develop their jazz skills to a higher level. Coursework includes jazz improvisation, walking bass lines, melodic soloing and a range of ‘standard’ chord sequences. Technical exercises include: advanced scales and arpeggios: developing and interpreting chord symbols: jazz phrasing: ornaments: different forms of jazz harmony. Creative work will be focused on developing jazz language, building repertoire, and performing as part of a band. Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, you will be able to: Play a broad range of scales and arpeggios used in jazz Understand advanced chord symbols and chord sequences Improvise bass lines creatively in a jazz swing-feel style Play melodic solos using appropriate harmony and phrasing Apply different forms of jazz harmony more effectively Explore jazz language using traditional and contemporary methods Build jazz repertoire Perform with greater confidence and skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintoid Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Wow, good old Morley College. When I was a kid, my mum and I used to sign up for courses during the summer holidays, a good 45 years ago! I've got a black belt in enamelled badge making. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
