Basic Elements of Chord Symbols
A chord symbol, such as CMaj7, usually contains three parts:
• A pitch-letter (such as C) to indicate the key
• The chord type of a major (Ma) or minor (m) key
• The number that indicates the top note of the chord (6, 7, 9, 11, or 13)
Normally, a chord contains the 1, 3, and 5 notes of the key plus one or more extensions
(higher notes in the chord). For example, CMa7 contains the 1, 3, 5, and 7 of C Major (C, E,
G, and B), while a CMa9 chord contains the 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 of C Major (C, E, G, B, and D).
A chord symbol can indicate any of the 12 keys, such as C#, D, Eb, E, etc.
Building Major Chords
A major chord has the 1, 3, and 5 degrees of a major scale. A major 7 chord has the 1, 3, 5,
and 7; a major 9 chord has the 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9; and a major 6 chord has the 1, 3, 5, and 6.
1.5 Spelling the 12 Major Chords
The examples below show common major chord symbols you’ll see in chord progressions,
along with their chord tones, or arpeggios. C is the example key used here.

8 tips to Teach yourself Piano and a book to download- 8 dicas para Aprender Piano Sozinho com livro para Download
- 1Find a piano to use. You may have one at home, or you may be able to find one somewhere else. You also need to make sure the piano is reasonably tuned. If your piano hasn't been played for ages, or has recently been moved, chances are, it's at least a bit out of tune. While the piano being a tiny bit off shouldn't matter much, if the piano is worse, you may want to have it tuned by a professional before going any further.
- 2If you're unable to find a piano, a keyboard is a great alternative. They're affordable, never go out of tune, and have lots of sounds and features that can enhance your music. And higher end keyboard models sound just as good or better than many grand pianos. Not to mention they're a lot easier to move around and don't take up much space.
- 3Acquire some prior musical knowledge. Teaching yourself to play the piano will be pretty much impossible if you haven't had some sort of professional teaching on some other instrument -- you need to know how to read and you need to understand musicbefore you can teach yourself to play anything. It does not matter if the other instrument you can play is, say, a Bb clarinet or an Eb alto saxophone, even though the piano is a C instrument. In fact, once you get better at the piano, you can do some really cool things if you play an instrument in another key.

Creative Improvisation
Can Improvisation Be Pre-Determined?
By definition, improvisation is not pre-determined. For example, if you plan out all the notes of a solo and then play them, it’s a composition, not an improvisation. (In some cases that may be OK, such as for very short solos or recordings where a specific result is needed.) Here’s what you should study and plan ahead of time:
• The elements of the song to improvise to (chords, scales, rhythmic style, etc.)
• The basic mood and feeling of the song

Five Barriers to Creativity
1) “There’s just one way to solve a problem.”
2) “I need a new and unique solution, not one that’s borrowed or adapted.”
3) “I don’t really understand the tools and materials.”
4) “I just build, without planning or visualizing.”
5) “My fears or ego interfere with creativity.”
Below are some ways to overcome these five barriers.
Barrier 1: Only One Way to Solve a Problem
When we try to solve a problem, sometimes our solution clicks and sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’t work, we should ask ourselves:
• Are we trying to solving the right problem? We often try to solve the first problem we see or the easiest first.

Creativity
The principles of creativity and improvisation can be understood, learned, and applied. Some people think you’re either born creative or you’re not, and that you can’t really develop creativity. I firmly believe otherwise: if you want to develop creativity and you learn the creative process, you can definitely be more creative. The issue isn’t whether you’ll become a creative genius, but how well you’ll develop your own creative gift. As you read this chapter, think of how the creative process can apply to your own jazz improvisation.
The Creative Process
Creativity is the art of organizing things or ideas in a useful or unusual way. You can use the creative process to do the following things, for example:
• Make one or more objects from available materials, such as a musical phrase from individual notes.

Learning Values through Improvisation
Learning to improvise and interact musically can build rich experiences and positive values
in your daily life. Here are five of life’s values that the art of improvisation can strengthen:
1) Discernment and wisdom
2) Integrity
3) Leadership
4) Informed risks
5) Diversity
#1: Discernment and Wisdom
Improvising opens up a potential floodgate of notes and ideas. Exploring and controlling these musical ideas requires discernment and wisdom. First, you use discernment to recognize chords, rhythms, melodic shapes, and other elements as they emerge in the music. Then you develop wisdom as you learn:
• When to speak up musically and when to be silent
• When and how to copy, change, or support the ideas of other players
• How to fully develop musical ideas to interesting conclusions

Horacio el Negro - conversation in Clave Download

El Negro tells us that coordination is more than just playing patterns, it's the ability to "hear multiple rhythms from multiple sound sources at the same time. This is, in fact, the key to high level drum set and percussion performance." I heartily agree. Although in the beginning you need to practice certain patterns to be able to develop four-way coordination, eventually you should get to the point where you can play absolutely anything that comes to mind. To that end, this book is divided into eight main sections and

Improvisando sobre a Progressão Harmônica
Read More


Introdução a Improvisação
Uma grande parte da harmonia do jazz é baseada na escala maior. Como dissemos antes, cada escala maior tem uma relativa menor que é formada quando se toca a mesma sequência de notas, mas a partir do sexto grau da escala maior. Aliás, outras escalas podem ser formadas usando-se a sequência de notas de uma escala maior, a partir de qualquer um de seus graus. Essas escalas são chamados modos da escala. A escala maior natural é chamada o modo jônio (ou jônico ou iônico). A escala formada a partir da sexta nota, a relativa menor, é chamada de modo eólio. Os nomes desses

Intervalos
Há 12 notas diferentes na música tradicional: Dó, Dó Sustenido/Ré Bemol, Ré, Ré Sustenido/Mi Bemol, Mi, Fá, Fá Sustenido/Sol Bemol, Sol, Sol Sustenido/Lá Bemol, Lá, Lá Sustenido/Si Bemol e Si. Depois do Si vem o Dó uma oitava acima do primeiro Dó, e este ciclo continua. Essa sequência é chamada de escala cromática. Cada etapa nessa escala é chamada de um meio tom ou semitom. O intervalo entre duas notas é definido pelo número de semitons entre elas. Duas notas distantes um semitom, como Dó e Dó Sustenido, definem uma segunda menor. As notas que estão dois semitons distantes, como Dó e Ré, definem uma segunda maior. Isso também é chamado um tom inteiro. De semitom em semitom, os demais intervalos são a terça menor, terça maior, quarta justa, trítono, quinta justa, sexta menor, sexta maior, sétima menor, sétima maior e, por fim, a oitava.A maioria desses intervalos também tem outros nomes. Por exemplo, um trítono é

The Mixing Engineers Handbook Download
Throughout his 30 years of experience in studios, Bobby Owsinski interviewed many well-known engineers, from Bruce Swedien to George Massenburg, and the transcripts of the interviews make up half of this book's 200 pages. The other half details all the aspects of mixing, framed by comments extracted from the interviews. Top-notch organization allows the reader to access engineers' comments by topic or by the name of the engineer.
This well-written handbook should entertain everyone from the rookie engineer to the seasoned professional through chapters on the history of mixing, dynamics, EQ'ing, sound-field placement and effects. With additional chapters on balance, "the key to a great mix," the final mix, and an extensive section on mixing for surround sound, solutions to common conundrums are both detailed and varied. Most refreshing is the candor with which the engineers describe their craft.
This is a very revealing visit into the often mythical realms of mixing, and even established engineers can learn something new from this book.

How to Make Hip Hop Beats - 10 Easy Steps By Lerron Carson
When you're just starting out how to make beats it can be fun and frustrating at the same time. Trust me I was there. But it really is easier then you think. If you're making a beat here are 10 tips that will get yo stated.
1. Pick a style- Know the style of beat you want to make before you start making it. Like rnb,rap,pop, etc. There have been plenty of beats that I made and could not figure out what style it was.
2. Pick A Major Artist- Think of a known artist that you would want to make the beat for. Like if you chose a style a rap, think now what rap artist do you want to make the beat for. Try to imagine that artist on your beat. This will make your hip hop beat-making experience a whole lot easier.
3. Listen To Their Song- Take a listen to the rap artist you are making the beat for songs. See the style. Get a feel for the kind of hip hop beats the artist raps over.
4. Formatting The Song- Very important. formatting is, the intro, verse, chorus, verse, bridge, etc. That's all it is but basically you just change the order around however you feel like it. Turn on the radio and see how your favorite artist formats there song. When instruments come in, when they drop out. The most basic form to start with is, 2 or 4 bar intro, 16 bar verse, 8 bar chorus, 16 bar verse, 8bar chorus, 16 bar verse, 8 bars chorus. This is the most basic beat-making song format. This is very common in rap. If you want an even simpler way, you can create an 8 bar loop and keep it the same throughout the whole song. I have seen this done a lot.
5. Laying down the beat- I have learned that for starters, it's easier to start with the drums. Kick, Snare, Hi hat, are always a good start. Record a pattern for four bars with those first. Then layer that with maybe some toms, cow-bell, symbols, etc. Whatever you want to use. THE DRUMS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT IN MAKING HIP HOP BEATS! Your drums must hit and hit HARD. The best way to get your drums hitting hard is by not using "pitty pat" free kits you downloaded from the internet for free. If your drums are weak, then your beat is going to be weak.
6. Laying Down A Melody- This is where most hip hop beat-makers have the most trouble. Because most eat makers can't play the keys. For starters, you might want to learn basic keyboard skills. The major thing you need to learn are, major and minor scales. After you learn that, try and do different combinations and patterns with the drum beat you have made. Use an instrument like, a lead guitar, horns, clav, something that will stand out. Your melody can be however you want it, but for starters, you could do a 4 bar melody, or an 8 bar melody.
7. Layering The Beat- What is done a lot in beat making is layering. If you have your whole beat finished. You can go and make it sound bigger by layering. All you do is fill in some gaps, do the same pattern you did with one instrument with another instrument. Do this throughout your beat. This will make you beat sound a lot fatter.
8. Pan- Panning is basically having an instrument all the way to the right, all the way to the left, and anywhere in between. You pan for all kinds of different reasons. It gives each track its own little space in the stereo field. There are no rules for panning, put you have to do it. So just try it out and see what you like best.
9. The Mixdown- Very important! Very Important! Very Important! If you have a poor mix on your beat, then you have pretty much wasted your time. When mixing a beat, start with each track individually. Solo each track and make sure it sounds good by itself. EQ it if you have to, but if each track sounds good by itself, the whole beat will sound that much better. DO NOT DISTORT! If your master levels are in the red before you bounce to disc or .mp3, your distorting. Don't worry about if its not loud enough. You never ever ever want to distort. If you are distorting, check any instrument that has boom or low end, Like a kick, bass, sub, etc. these tend to distort more often.
10. The Bounce- Now that you made you're beat, Its the hottest hip hop beat ever, you want to put it on cd or upload it to the internet. When you're exporting a beat for cd, Use .wav file. 44.1 16bit. If you want to upload to the internet use, 320kbps (the highest .mp3 quality) or 128kbps. Most websites wont accept 320kbps because the file size is too big. So go with 128kbps.
These are all just guidelines to help you get started. There are millions of ways to make a beat, But this is just to help.
