540-550: Six week recap

A little catch up from the Daily Improvisation. My first fall thrown into a full teaching schedule with baby at home. So I think some of the explanation for the absence is self-explanatory. There’s musical developments too. My improv teacher is continuing to push me into new and different sounds, so keeping up daily practice for her is a high priority. I am also trying to rewire a bit how I think during performing, in a way that would be hard to explain, but might be described as letting emotional motivation trump the formal. So without further ado, here’s eleven improvs that represent the last few weeks. See you soon, hopefully.

It appears I have been ambushed by the coming of my full fall schedule. Here are three from the last couple of weeks. Perhaps now that I’ve settled in I’ll publish a bit more regularly.

337-8: More chromatic four note sonatas

Four note sonata format again, with some chromatic slides I had to deal with. Tricky but a good stretch.
