Lesson 160: Conception Etude

Here’s a fun Etude I wrote for KU Computer Science Major Spencer Addis over Conception by George Shearing.

I wrote this in real time during our lessons and Spencer learned it by ear. This is a good method for learning as it’s memorized from the very onset of learning the material. We added about 8 bars each week and finally had the whole chorus after a month or so.

After that we just kept playing it and speeding it up while also singing phrases and playing phrases through 12 keys.

* We used the Bb-7 A7 Ab-7 G7 changes in Bars 7 and 8 although the OG changes are all Dominant 7th chords. I’ll post a transcription on my blog later this week.

~Enjoy!
