I’m in a couple bands, I’m in my high school jazz band along with a jazz ensemble with post secondary and high school students that run by my band teacher, then I have concert band, and I’m taking jazz class at school. Jazz class we do more of combos, we still use sheet music but we all play the melody and put a lot of focus towards solos. In jazz class since we’re all playing the melody we could do it by ear to learn songs, but we’d have to work together to make sure we all get the pitch right because we wouldn’t want everyone to be playing completely different pitches. If you mean that you should learn your music and then have it memorized, we don’t have to, but I do have most of my songs for jazz class memorized because they’re simple and have had them for a while I still have the sheet music while playing though. I have 26 songs and counting so I definitely need sheet music for some of the songs

    I remember a gig I played as a teenager. My band opened with a jazzy number that had space for a keyboard solo in it, and when it came around time for my solo, my mind just… Completely blanked. I forgot what key and scale I was playing in, and at more than one point I started touch-typing keys (literally just playing everything with my index fingers). Like I started panicking and my brain completely shut down.
    My band mates thought it was the best solo I ever played, and the artist we were opening for (who was a pretty widely celebrated artist) complemented me on it afterword.

      Similar story, my high school jazz band were performing in a regional competition, and I was the sole saxophonist in the band. For weeks leading up, I couldn't quite nail down the solo I was given and was petrified to let the band down on the big day. I have no idea what happened, but my fingers just went wild and did their own thing the entire time. Literal jazz hands, but while grasping an instrument. I came off stage about to apologise and our coach(?) ran up beaming ear to ear and said I blew him away with my improvisation. My band mates were shocked too. Probably not as shocked as me though.

When I started band in 7th grade to the time I ended in 12th I had 4 different band teachers. I shit you not. I learned to play almost entirely by ear and by the feel of the music and for years no one said a whole lot about it. When I met my band professor he had me play and then he says "You learned to play music by ear didnt you?" I asked him how he knew that and he goes cause I can see by how your struggling since theres only so many people around you with a similar part. He said playing by ear is a very very valuable skill to have but I really really need to learn how to read music better. Yet I still managed to get a fulk ride scholarship to college.

      I can tell you one thing for sure. Improvisation was actually common, even before Beethoven's time. Mozart and his friend Clementi would play each other pieces and deliberate change things. Therefore, Classical performance and even the idea of composition was not as rigid as we tend to see it. This is why the uTube music "teacher" Adam Neelys gets so many things wrong. He claims to be progressive, but he constantly tries to push "Classical" people into one box and himself ("Jazz" musician) in another. Neely also made videos claiming that perfect pitch cannot be learn, yet seemingly hundreds of musicians and lay-people responded that they did, and that you can. Not to mention Adam Neely's rants on why we shouldn't tune to A-432 Scientific Tuning because it's "voodoo." Yet, A-440 concert pitch is entirely random and does not fit into mathematical patterns, sacred geometry, the Golden section, etc. Growing up in small-town New Mexico and Texas in the 80's kids would make fun of you listened to Classical. I was a music that simply did not exist. // On the other hand, as a pianist having studied in NYC, I noticed that Asian pianist's I'd hand hang out couldn't play without the music. Whereas I'd just sit at their piano and go thru some Chopin or whatever. And even if i got a note wrong, I'd just delay it or blend it into the mix! // Bottom line: Beethoven rocked! - _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ @theacousticrabbithole9608

      The hardest part is actually the rhythm for me, notes that are accentuated by the beat sound really bad if they are "out". But if you play the same notes before or after the beat your in the clear. Think chromatic approaches and those 16th note semi tone slides into the correct chords. Playing them seems to be hugely dependent on the rhythm that said im not good at it so i havent had much success in freeform jazz yet.

    One of the most import parts of swing is that you play the high-hat on 2 and 4, but the mad-lad made the backing track play on 1 and 3. And he still made the solo swing!

At one point i forgot the melody (since my playing is mostly by ear) i took my hands off the piano and begin to hit some notes i remembered (improvising without noticing it) then at some point i could hear the faint piano and kinda work it out till the end. Luckily my classic pianist teacher wasn't there, he would've had a heart attack. But the people didnt seem to notice my error (well my family did) but my classmates and other teachers told me i played beautifully.

      One of my favorite quotes by my favorite musicians is “I just know how I feel, not how it feels.” Meaning you could be up there, playing your heart out, and thinking that you’re absolutely bombing, but to the audience, it could sound like the best thing they’ve ever heard. When you’re playing on a stage, in the moment, it is borderline impossible to discern how it sounds to the people out there. I remember at an open mic jam, I was playing She’s So Heavy by the Beatles, and I thought we all bombed. But the guy who runs the jam, came up to all of us after and told us this is why he runs the jam, and genuinely thought it was one of the best things he’d ever witnessed at that jam. So I try to remember that when I’m playing, all I know is how I feel I’m the moment, and it’s really totally irrelevant to how it actually sounds

The deeper you go from there into jazz, the more you will see people throw in these notes. They are like the spice in a meal. They make things more exciting and introduce more contrasts (dissonance+the usually following resolve into a more pleasing note) into the music.

      @ItsKam 3 ปีที่แล้ว +142

      My high school band director was actually a flaming Italian goblin and would go out of his way to demote snare players to bass drum or percussion if they were struggling, because that's the one thing the audience can hear go wrong (not like they could see us back there - he called my dad once because my shoes, in the very back row, were grey not black).
      So 16 year old me was in for a treat when I spent weeks practicing a snare part and on the day of the concert, I was given a bass drum mallet and was told to switch off every other song with the 'demoted' bass drum player. Because apparently this teacher also had a thing where upperclassmen had priority over parts for the show, and he could care less that I was prepared. I asked to get another snare (we didnt bring our own) but it was a "too bad so sad, you'll play snare next year" kinda situation with him and I lost.
      It was like saying "Hey you're great in my class but youre a freshman so you can't play the big boy instruments on stage in front of your parents who pay for your drum lessons"
      I understand a lot of drummers kinda goof off cause theyre in the back or were forced to do band, but geez, this teacher was one anal motherfucker about perfection and discipline and 'its not always fair'. His shitty ways have probably scared off tons of good drummers in the process - after quitting band, I joined a way cooler music program outside of the school

    I learned music on the cello, played for 4 years, it was all very structured. Then circumstances forced me to learn bass guitar and eventually drop the cello. Eventually I wanted interesting parts, so I joined the jazz band, which was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Sure I still stress out over mistakes, but I’m nowhere near the perfectionist I used to be. I can even do a bit of improv now! Not in front of a crowd, but i can do it. The change has affected the rest of my life too, and im taking risks I never would have taken before. Hell, I asked my crush out on Valentine’s Day, he said no, and I didn’t even get emotional about it. All in all, im glad I was forced out of orchestra, and im glad I watched this video that allowed me to make this connection

    No, seriously, this HAPPENS. I remember going to a regional competition with my high school jazz band, and I had an improv solo ready to go for our big set. One way or another, I ended up screwing up HALF of what I'd prepared, and I was all "Welp. At least I'm not planning to peak in high school." Then we got the notes back. I received TOP MARKS from the judges.
    Edit: Yes, I did, in fact, PREPARE an IMPROV SOLO, which tells you pretty much everything you need to know about me in high school XD

      Actually, scales makes up a majority of Jazz. Major or Natural Minor scales, Harmonic/Melodic Minor, etc
