Coltrane "Meditation" exercise

The exercise proposed in this digital download is arguably THE most important  any serious musician in improvisation can ever practice!

There are 2 reasons for this:

1) It immerses the ear and body in the sound of how each note feels against a base chord. (This is fundamentally important preparation  activity that few musicians take the time to incorporate in to their practice routine)

2) It trains us to be able to play a tune in any key, as once we know the number/melody relationship of a tune we can translate this to any key, (provided we know the numbers of each note of the scale in all the 12 keys of music)

Included in the download

  • A carefully prepared PDF which includes a meticulous bar by bar analysis of the 'Resolution' melody + with the melody/numbers written for Concert, Bb, Eb and Bass instruments.
  • 12 minor drones for you to practice/experience the exercises in 12 keys 
  • Pdf of 'Resolution' in 12 keys (treble and bass clef versions)
  • Mp4  tutorial Video
