ONLINE WORKSHOP: Improvising with Triad Pair Scales at CJC, Berkeley

  • California Jazz Conservatory (map)

Want to learn to navigate familiar chord changes in an interesting new way? This workshop takes a deep dive into the technique of creating and using versatile six-note scales by combining pairs of triads. We’ll look at different sets of triad-based scales and experiment with using them in a wide variety of situations, including major and minor chords, sus chords, altered dominants, ii-V-I progressions, and diminished scale-based harmony. Students of all instruments, as well as improvising vocalists, welcome.

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of jazz harmony. Please bring your instrument!
