D.- Video Recommendation of the Week:

1) Learn how to transcribe music to improve your vocabulary by Janek Gwizdala

Transcribing solos has proved a very useful tool for me in my musical career. I recommend committed students to try to understand why…

By analyzing other great master's works we can find not only knowledge but our own voice in music and/or in composition (through them). This inspiring video by British bass player Janek Gwizdala is a prove of how useful is to transcribe and understand solos played by great musicians like Michael Brecker as in this case.
