How to Practice Moving from One Chord to Another15 May 202100:12:24

This episode is also available as a blog post: http://thepracticeofpractice.com/2021/05/14/how-to-practice-moving-from-one-chord-to-another/

Keep in mind that I'm talking mostly about trumpet pitches in this video, which are written a whole step above concert pitch (guitar, piano, etc.). So an A on piano is written as a B for trumpeters, but the pitch of the note is the same. I know, I know, it's weird and confusing. Don't shoot the messenger.

This is a lesson from the "Dark Eyes" video course for intermediate and comeback trumpet players. It's got pages and pages of downloadable sheet music, downloadable backing tracks at multiple tempos and styles, and over 40 videos. Check it out at TrumptJumpstart.com

How to Use the Dim7 Chord07 Apr 202100:10:52

I sure wish someone had explained this to me before college, and even then I had to work out how to use it for myself. Hope it helps you.</p>

This video is a lesson from the Dark Eyes video course. 

If none of this music theory made sense to you, consider the video course for Basic Music Theory: How to Read, Write, and Understand Written Music.
