STUDENTS TESTIMONIALS

Vinicius Gomes

          "Interpretation of the classic jazz standard Round Midnight by the great Thelonious Monk. In this arrangement I am applying several concepts worked in the classes with Adolfo, among them: Shell Voicings, drop 2, harmonization with diminished chord, upper structure, swing feel, approve of bass lines , different articulations, counterpoint lines, use of rhythmic and melodic patterns, arpeggios, chromatisms and attachments. "

Amanda Camargo
