little update

We had a fantastic class, and all the students are making great
progress. Today we worked on a new tune of Craig including a 3:4
arrangment for the whole ensemble. It it working out great. And we
focused on quintuplets grouped in the following sequence:
23232323-222-3223-3223-22-32-32. This sequence is part of the tune
Rain, and we played the whole composition for the first time
including the triplets and sixteenth variations. Man, this is very
exciting. The students are stepping it up.

tunes

Today we worked mostly on originals. Two tunes of Clement, one in 5/4 and one with a cycle of 3/4 4/4 3/4 5/4 plus a metric modulation. We also checked out T-leaf by Chris, a great melody. Next week back to the groupings in triplets and newly written material based on 4:3 and 3:4. I love this class and learn a lot from the students.
