ESSENTIAL TERMINOLOGY 1 PDF DOWNLOAD
The ability to effectively communicate with others is quite essential in most everything we do, including music! No matter how you spend your time in music, as singer, player, teacher or writer, it’s important to be on the same playing field with other musicians so that you can be conversant and productive when rehearsing and performing. This directly involves having a thorough understanding of the lingo (terminology) that is in common use within your musical culture. There exists a set of terms that is in standard use among jazz musicians, and to be fully functional (and professional) you’ll want to know and use the same lingo.
This video outlines a few of the MOST common terms that are truly essential when you are working with others in jazz music. Keep an eye out for other MichMusic Now videos that cover different lingo that applies to various specific musical situations.
The ESSENTIAL TERMINOLOGY 1 PDF DOWNLOAD is a summary of terms as talked about in the video; please use it and share it as you wish.
