check out Clark Terry talking about phrasing:
This is an outstanding lesson! In working with pianists I use this syllabulary first on the melodica, and it helps in the shortest time.
Hello Nachum Pereferkovich! thanks for the kind words and glad you find this helpful, feel free to share it with your students.
It sure can help students to phrase correctly the melody of standards and transcriptions but the best is of course to listen to the masters!
impressive – lot of work
Martin Adam yes indeed! listening carefully and playing transcriptions trying to match the articulation has been very helpful for me 🙂
Tout un art !
