Howdy. I thought that this first page of the new deal challenge might be a good place to collect our ideas. What we want to accomplish and use it as a reference document... or maybe even an overview document or index (using links) posts that we accomplish under each categories. Might also be good to have separate posts /& film clips for each exercise. Help me complete this list: Goals 1. Melodic development, 2. Language acquisition 3. Writing etudes 4. Enclosures Before the start of a month each we decide on a lick, phrase, fragment or goal that we work through on predetermined tunes. Also, tunes to work through. Steps: 1. A monthly post describing the goals. (We decide together or take turns) and 2 tunes to work through 2. Deliverables per month are ALWAYS 1 written etude (minimum 2-3 choruses) and a video of the performance. Also include a 2 backing track (I can fix this if needed) at 2 tempos, or 2 keys 3. Deliver an improvisation...
