For each concert, I try to choose pieces that compliment each other, but are, in no way, alike. It always fascinates me to find out which songs speak to which students. So far, we have a blues piece in which we're working on articulation, swinging eighth notes, walking bass lines, improvisation, and blues scales. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have a contemporary piece in an AB form that is spurring us to discuss contrasting styles, accurately counting rests, layering, balance, and blend.
